I'm new to wikimedia tech, I have one question to ask, excuse me if I'm asking something that's wrong or already well known.
I'm in no position to judge in behalf of any solution but there must be a way to find the truth.
Are there some reserved machines for doing tests on wikimedia project ? If there is a test lab/equipment is there some kind of test procedure ? Are there tests for making benchmarks ?
Thanks
Milos

Because this "toy database" is holding up a server that serves millions of page requests per second, quite unlike your own computer which can concentrate all its power on the individual queries you gave it.
Both Aerik and Greg were running on their own machines with local copies of the db (or parts thereof). To really get a comparison you'd have to run tests on the same machine, running the same queries. Squabbling over favourite software can wait until after they are compared side by side.
I think the question Aerik was posing was what factors make some cat intersections take longer than others, not what makes it take a certain number value.
