Today I was re-reading a great reminder of just how true this is:
http://suckit.blog.hu/2009/09/29/postgresql_history
From the baseline provided by 8.0, PostgreSQL increased in speed by
about 8X on both read and writes sides between 8.1 and 8.3. Since 8.1
came out in late 2005, it's no wonder the "PostgreSQL is slow" meme got
so deep into people's memories--until only four years ago, it was still
actually true.
