Also, many open source web apps support mysql as the back end. porting these to
also support postgresql would increase its usability and visibility for these
sorts of projects.
Of course, for some quick and dirty web apps postgresql may in fact be
overkill... at any rate this is one small way I hope to encourage more
widespread use of postgresql.

What do you mean by overkill exactly? I hear about "overkill" quite often
with postgresql, but that seems quite vague. Does postgresql have a
significantly larger overhead than mysql (i.e. startup time or backend memory
requirements)?
