I've noticed a lot of press lately is mentioning their name next to ingres
as an alternative to MySQL, so the MySQL folks might be feeling some
Postgres heat from their direction.

I also wonder where their project is too - they seem publicly opaque about
progress, etc.  From the web site's statements it looks like they've written
a tool to tune the postgresql.conf file from which they claim a 50%
speed-up, but that's not new or unique "fork-level" functionality.
