      When MongoDB flushes to disk, the rate of inserts fall considerably with at least a 30% reduction.

      All the data is in memory and there are no page faults.

      The issues persists despite the o/s being highly modified with recommended MongoDB production settings - noatime, ext4, high ulimit, journal on separate disk,ssd and low readahead.
