Btree depth for oplog grows faster than expected

      While doing perf testing of an insert only workload, I noticed that the oplog collection's btree was deepening faster than expected. After only ~1 minute, the tree depth grows to 4 and after ~2 minutes it grows to 5.

      I'm not sure this is a problem per se, but seems abnormal.

      I couldn't seem to reproduce this with an oplog size of 1GB or 3GB, but happens very quickly with 5GB. Tested with rc7 and latest master (git hash: e4c60053b2967e16f765fa25d16aa6d629faa196)

      Running mongodb with --master and --oplogSize 5000:

      ./mongod --dbpath /home/dan/wt-data/ --storageEngine wiredTiger --master --oplogSize 5000
      

      Run workload:

      mongo deep_tree.js
      

      Tracking the btree depth here:

      > use local
      switched to db local
      > while(1) {print(""+ Date()+" " + db.oplog.$main.stats().wiredTiger.btree['maximum tree depth']);sleep(5000)}
