I thought that Great Bridge's August benchmarks were rather skewed.
They only used one particular test from the AS3AP suite.  That was the
basis for their headline figure of 4-5 times the performance of the
competition.

I was however impressed by the TPC-C results.  MySQL and Interbase
were unable to complete them.  PostgreSQL showed almost identical
performance over a range of loads to Proprietary 1 (version 8.1.5, on
Linux) and Proprietary 2 (version 7.0, on NT).
