queries.) Knowing that faster DB is always good, I thought this would be
an interesting thing to consider :)

It's easy to get fast results if you don't care about your reads being
atomic (*), and I find it hard to believe they've managed to get
atomic reads without going through MySQL.
(*) Among other possibilities, just use MyISAM.
