Cool, although it's not clear the storage speed had a major impact.  If 
it did have a major impact, then the same test using plain FileStorage 
or RelStorage on MySQL should reveal that.  MySQL was the clear leader 
in my own performance tests, despite my efforts to make PostgreSQL or 
Oracle win. ;)  I've seen evidence that RelStorage on MySQL even has a 
chance of beating plain FileStorage in performance.

I am certainly interested in hearing the results of that test.
