So I have some results. I have tested the query on both PostgreSQL 8.0.1
and MySQL 4.1.8 with LIMIT set to 30 and OFFSET set to 6000. PostgreSQL
result is 11,667.916 ms, MySQL result is 448.4 ms.

Both databases are running on the same machine (my laptop) and contain
the same data. However there are some differences in the data table
definitions:
1) in PostgreSQL I use 'varchar(1)' for a lot of fields and in MySQL I
use 'enum'
2) in PostgreSQL in some cases I use connection fields that are not of
the same type (smallint <-> integer (SERIAL)), in MySQL I use the same types
