These *peeeeeeep* [deleted] compared MySQL with MyISAM to ACID
compliant databases. So why not compare an F-15 to 747? What? Apples
and Oranges? So what? You can compare anything you want, right? Only
the result matters.

So, my hint to these guys is: learn about the principles of databases
(at least read: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACID>), then about the
principles of optimizing databases, then about the principles of
testing (don't compare products or setups that do completely
different things) and then do you homework again.

Go home.
