Umm... not the browser acid, this one: http://databases.about.com/od/specificproducts/a/acid.htm This is also why the recent scalability tests by freebsd shows that the mysql database tops out at 8 cores (additional cores do _nothing_ at all), whereas postgresql keeps on linearly trucking. And 30% faster than mysql.
