for non trivial selects (myisam has no transaction overhead so can
usually edge out pg in row by row ops), and without taking multi user
issues into account, it's often going to come down to who generates a
better plan.  postgres has more plan options and a better statistics
model and can usually beat mysql on many types of selects.

updates w/myisam are where mysql really shines in single user apps.
the reason is obvious: no mvcc means the heap can often be updated in
place.
