I am pretty sure he means the top level domains (registration, root DNS server updates, etc) are all run off PostgreSQL. In terms of raw performance, I would also recommend reading the article on CNAF (1 Billion SQL queries a day) at http://pgmag.org/. It may not be a web site.... Etsy also uses PostgreSQL. My experience is that PostgreSQL performs quite well under extremely varied loads. However, I think you are asking the wrong question. I think the key questions are: 1) What do you want in an RDBMS? 2) What options are there available in both? 3) What doors do I want to leave open in the future that one or the other provides?
