      Summary:
      This is a performance improvement and potentially an eviction improvement: transaction commit/rollback are too slow in the case of prepared transactions, and a reasonably large transaction commit/rollback of a prepared transaction (that is, one with thousands of updates) takes a long time. If the updates are on an underlying page that's big enough to be forcibly evicted (so, imagine creating a collection, inserting a few thousand documents, preparing those documents and then committing the transaction), it can stall eviction and lead to format test timeouts.
