      The seekNear API has bizarre semantics that requires the implementation to moving the cursor back and forth to return the correct key. If seekNear returns a previous key, then the caller has to call next() to advance.

      Replace this API or create another with lower_bound and upper_bound semantics to speed up seeks on both the oplog and clustered collections. Consider using bounded cursors here.

      As a specific goal, this would mean clustered collections scans only need to make one API call into the cursor when seeking. See this comment.
