I did benchmark mysql/postgresql/oracle sometime back. Mysql with transaction is 90% as fast as postgresql. But it dies down with increased number of users no matter how much resources you throw at it. Oracle is 130% of postgresql. This was postgresql 7.2.x series so things have changed for sure, but you got the idea, right?
