      Summary: In the reporter's network, an "ismaster" call to a remote mongos is actually lower latency than to a mongos running on localhost, but the local mongos has higher throughput. PyMongo does not measure throughput, only latency, and it prefers the lowest-latency mongos. This is a feature request to work around this issue by especially preferring "localhost" and its synonyms, regardless of latency measurements.

      We've updated the Server Selection Spec to mandate all drivers prefer localhost if the Topology Type is sharded.

      It looks like pymongo 3.0.1.dev0 is consistently slower than 2.6.3 for find:

      With prun, I see that pymongo 3.0 is performing 346 socket recv's vs 81 for 2.6.3. Has something changed with the socket recv buffer size, or similar? I haven't been able to find anything in the docs.
