There's just enough hardware differences between the two configurations
that it's not quite a fair fight.  For example, the MySQL test had 10K RPM
drives in the database server storage array, while the PostgreSQL one had
15K RPM ones.  A few other small differences as well if you dig into the
configurations, all of which I noted favored the PG system.
