st: is merge old version faster?

Dear Stata Users,
I am checking a new command computing the net survival according to
Pohar Perme method, -stnet-.
Internally the command must repeatedly merge two files.
When -merge- is specified according to the version 10 syntax it seems
that -stnet- is faster than in the case -merge- is used according to the
version 11 or 12.
Has anyone else noticed that -merge- old version is faster than -merge-
new version?
If yes, what could be the reason?
Do you know a way to make faster the merging of files?
Enzo
