I think more of those were fair than you're giving them credit for. For
many common loads, up until PG 8.1 came out--November 8.1--MySQL really
was faster. That was the release with the killer read scalability
improvements, then 8.3 piled on again with all the write-heavy stuff
too. MySQL 4 vs. PG 8.0? MySQL won that fair and square sometimes.
