Luke this comment doesn't work. Do you have a test case that shows that
on an Ultra Sparc or PPC that you are accurate? Both of these CPUs are
pretty big players in the Enterprise space.

I am going to assume that you forgot to clarify this statement with "IN
BULK LOADING", because if you didn't I would like to see your test results.

My very real life experience shows that MySQL can't not keep up with
PostgreSQL under load.

Nobody here argues that PostgreSQL needs to improve. If it didn't need
to improve I would be out of business because it would be perfect.
