      db.ensureIndex(

      {x:1}

      )

      db.distinct('x')

      Distinct apparently does a full table scan, even though it could use the index to speed things up a bit. Please see the discussion here:

      http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user/browse_thread/thread/912fd4b9e303fb04/

      My current application of MongoDB relies on fast distincts, and I think this would help quite a bit.
