Yes Devin, mySQL is fast enough, but it is not *really* a database.
There are many reasons why some say mySQL is rather close to a file
system with SQL interface than to a DBMS. If you really care about how
robust and efficient your database is then you should look into
PostgreSQL which by many is considered the best open source DBMS.
