Up until now, the MySQL people have been boasting performance as the
product's great advantage. Now this contradicts thi sfor the first time. I
believe it has to do with the test. Perhaps MySQL is faster when you just
do one simple SELECT * FROM table, and that it has never really been
tested in a real-life (or as close as possible) environment?
