MongoDB counting with index is slower than counting without index












0















I have created a Mongo collection with 1,505,000 documents.



When there is no index on a key, and I am doing this:



db.test.count({a: {$ne: "some_string"}})


it takes approx to 1200ms to return the amount.



When I am doing the same thing, but for this time WITH index on a key, it takes approx to 12000ms.



Technical details




  1. Index was created using: db.test.createIndex({a: 1})


  2. For equivalence, when using find instead of count it provides with results after 0.002 ms.


  3. I am using MongoDB on my localhost.



This is the executionStats:
