Is the DB on the same host as the web server?

It is more likely they did not leave enough overhead for the host operating system, which is a classic issue.

  • I don't really remember, to be fair this was nearly 10 years ago now. Upon some googling now, I do see a way to limit just how much Mongo sucks up for data + index. I am curious if it would have been a smoother experience, if this configuration was even available then.
