I recently took a system from MySQL to Postgres. Same HW, SW, same data.
The major operations where moderately complex queries (joins on 8 tables).

The results we got was that Postgres was fully 3 times slower than MySql.
We were on this list a fair bit looking for answers and tried all the
standard answers. It was still much much much slower.
