mongodb seems to be ServiceStatus=Running ServiceStartType=Automatic (should it be disabled (like postgresql)?)

I noticed that mongod.exe was running and consuming some CPU and memory while my tests were running

why is mongod.exe running by default when the other database, postgresql, is disabled? Should mongod.exe also be disabled?

Hi @graingert!
How much time is saved when you disable MongoDB as the first step of the run? I can't say what was behind enabling MongoDB by default but I assume there was for users convenience as MongoDB doesn't conflict with anything.

disabling it didn't seem to save much time: https://github.com/graingert/distributed/runs/5095910966?check_suite_focus=true
