How would you model and query a large collection for good performance?

Design for your queries: index the filter and sort fields (compound indexes ordered by equality, then sort, then range), project only needed fields, paginate with cursors, avoid unbounded arrays inside documents, and check slow queries with explain(). Consider archiving old data and use Atlas performance tools to find slow queries.
