You *gotta* be kidding me. MySQL can't hold a candle to PostgreSQL for high load, high volume or complex queries. MySQL is great for simple selects and light duty use but you will have to introduce clustering and failover much sooner for MySQL than you ever will for Postgres. As far as speed goes, MySQL's speed falls down *very* quickly once you start using anything more than simple SELECTs. Throw in some joins, some ordering and complex clauses and it grinds to a crawl. > functionality in stored procedures, cursors, and views.

MySQL's constant licensing issues are the biggest reason why it's not natively supported in Asterisk!
