the following link is a good article on the real-world,
multi-user performance of mysql and postgres. tim perdue
ported source forge from mysql to postgre and performed a
series of tests against the source forge code and database.
one chart shows postgres scaling up to 100 concurrent users
and serving pages very nicely while mysql craters at about
20.
enjoy!
