      Mongo restore not Scaling to due to unnecessary incremental sleep. 

      If mongorestore is run with a high --numInsertionWorkersPerCollection  or --numParallelCollections. The goroutine fail to spawn (in a timely fashion) and put the system in a high value sleep.

      This is due to github.com/mongodb/mongo-tools/mongorestore/restore.go :442

      "time.Sleep(time.Duration * 10 * time.Millisecond)"

      This line is redundant or should at-least be statically timed like "time.Sleep( 10 * time.Millisecond)"

      Each goroutine waits an incremental amount of time. Eg. Wait time before spawning first goroutine 10 ms , second 20 ms , so on till 40000ms for the 4000th thread. Sum of this AP comes to 80000000ms which comes to 80k secs. 

      A sample command that reproduces this issue is:-

      Taking a small  dump.bson will also reproduce this issue. The process simply wont complete even after reaching 100%. This also prevents any user to spawn more than 1300 go-routines in a practical timeline (1 day).

      Eg ./mongorestore --host 127.0.0.1:27300 --noIndexRestore --writeConcern "{w: 0}" --numInsertionWorkersPerCollection 1000 -vvvv /var/mongo/dump.bson
