I'd *love* to see the particulars of that test.  It's been shown time and time 
again that postgres' speed CLOBBERS mysql for anything but the simplest 
selects, and that it can handle far more concurrent connections without 
slowing down.

Have you asked the folks on freenode #postgresql as well?

It's quite possible your optimizations are buggering things up too.  I ran 
into that.  :-)
