      While ns files are small at 64MB, allocating them requires us to zero the file. On HDD, the process of file allocation + file zeroing can have a wide variation in performance, and it would be really helpful to time these steps in MongoD to diagnose I/O related problems causing MongoDB to stall.

      Example Code:

      diff --git a/src/mongo/db/storage/mmap_v1/catalog/namespace_index.cpp b/src/mongo/db/storage/mmap_v1/catalog/namespace_index.cpp
      index 12e90d2..f323bf8 100644
