IntellijIdea Mongo connection too slow and lack of capabilities

Question

I'm trying to use IntellijIdea in order to connect to MongoDB but it seems to work too slow. A simple read request might take up to 5 secs meanwhile Robo 3T works almost instantly. Is it a common and known behavior (some issue with mongo driver for example) or is it my local issue?

Also I can't find how to manage collections\databases via GUI. Let's say I want to create a new database: I right-click in order to get a context menu, go to "new" section and everything I can do is to add a new datasource, driver or just jump to console. Also I can't find db users for the given database. There is just no such folder under selected db. Can I do such kind of management via IntellijIdea database GUI?

Unfortunately we found a problem with latest MongoDB driver, which causes slow operations. Please open up data source properties, switch to Drivers tab, select MongoDB and switch to v.1.11.
