Old news, see this thread:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2007-02/msg00806.php

Most of us stopped reading about the place where they explained
that (a) they did zero tuning on each database, and (b) they were
comparing myisam to transactional engines.

It's amazing how many people do not understand that database performance
testing is actually a pretty hard problem in itself --- simplistic tests
will almost never show you the real-world bottlenecks.
