RocksDB iterator seek slows down dramatically when there are many large deleted rows. This slow down persists until a compaction occurs. To set read_options.iterate_upper_bound as tight as possible is recommended, so that internal iterating can stop sooner, rather than walking over the whole range of tombstones. Similarly, setting read_options.iterate_lower_bound for seekForPrev is recommended too.
