This was due to a lot of really poor MySQL vs Postgres benchmarks floating around in the early 2000's.

I think more of those were fair than you're giving them credit for. For many common loads, up until PG 8.1 came out--November 8.1--MySQL really was faster. That was the release with the killer read scalability improvements, then 8.3 piled on again with all the write-heavy stuff too. MySQL 4 vs. PG 8.0? MySQL won that fair and square sometimes.


oh, btw - I'm talking about MySQL 3.x w/MyISAM vs  Postgres 7.1/7.2 days.

By the time MySQL 4.0/PG 8.0 was around, I was long off MySQL.
