New subject: Slow response due to hit tracking?

30 Apr 2002

For anyone who is interested, Tim Perdue has performed a set of 
benchmarks  comparing MySQL with PostgreSQL

See his article at

    http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20000705.php3?page=2

and

    http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20000705-res.php3

for the raw results.

For read performance, they are comparable, with mySQL performing about 
50% better.

In the 10% write case, however, Postgres kept going beyond the 
client-concurrency load where MySQL falls over.
