      In the case of an aggregation framework query the first batch of results asked from the mergerPart to the shards are done asynchronously, however when it needs to get a second batch to fullfill the query it is virtually mono-threaded as the call to getNext is synchronous.

      I think it would be good to be able to overcome this limitation and make all subsequent fetches to be done in the background.

      You can see here (https://github.com/ahom/jupyter-notebooks/blob/master/mongo_cs32044/notebook.ipynb) a representation of this behavior.

      On the Y axis are the shards, on the X axis is the time. Starting from second batch seems is completely synchronous.

      Cheers,
      Antoine
