Yeah, the real "problem" pg has to deal with is that it writes to
disk, and expects that to provide durability, while voltdb (Mike's db
project) writes to multiple machines in memory and expects that to be
durable.  No way a disk subsystem is gonna compete with an in memory
cluster for performance.
