PostgreSQL has one table type.  MySQL gives you 7 different table
types to choose from.

Sounds like you're either not smart enough to choose the right one or
you didn't know you could make a choice.

I've never has any speed problems with MySQL, even using it on
mega-sites like ezsweeps.com back in the late 90's.
