I know this isn't really on topic but I thought some people may find this interesting. The below stats were taken from a non-production server which I dump to from my production server as a kind of backup method using MysqlFront. I might add that today I did several multi-table joins on the world database (+7mil population, languages, surface area of largest city per continent etc...) and still received decent result set times in the order of 0.06 to 0.5 seconds. The server is a lightning fast Pentium Pro 90 with 32 MB EDO RAM and RedHat 7.0. So anyone who still says that the MySQL database can't cut the mustard, obviously hasn't tried.
