Postgresql is "spotty". Some things it can do fast other
things are very slow. It's really mixed. So Postgres' speed
depends a lot of if you are so unlucky as to require some
feature that is not so fast. I found recently for example that
"GROUP BY" is intolerably slow while other query types are
almost as good as Oracle in performance. If you are designing
a brand new application you can design around this.
I'm sure each of the free DBMSes have something that must be
"designed around". You just take your pick.
