      This is the cache section from db.serverStatus() after running a busy workload for about a few minutes. Note that mongod was started immediately prior to the test.

      How can this possibly be true after a few minutes?
      "pages evicted by application threads" : 3938125731,

      I thought that maybe it counted bytes, which is possible given:
      "bytes written from cache" : 4421343996,

      But from looking at the code it just counts the number of calls to __wt_evict_lru_page

      /*
       * __wt_evict_lru_page --
       *      Called by both eviction and application threads to evict a page.
       */
      int
      __wt_evict_lru_page(WT_SESSION_IMPL *session, int is_app)
      {
              WT_BTREE *btree;
              WT_CACHE *cache;
              WT_DECL_RET;
              WT_PAGE *page;
              WT_REF *ref;
      
              if (is_app)
                      WT_STAT_FAST_CONN_INCR(session, cache_eviction_app);
