Using findOne in a loop takes too long in Node.js

Question

I\'m using Node.js with MongoDB, I\'m also using Monk for db access. I have the below code :

console.time(\"start\");

collection.findOne({name: \"jason\"},         


        

Answer 1

Answer to 1: Yes, it is because node is async. The part where it logs names is executed only when the first findOne returns, whereas the file was saved is executed straight away.
