If that's the case, then your developers will want Postgres anyway.
MySQL is just not feature-comparable. Postgres is.

What specific information is there that MySQL was ever faster ;-)
The benchmarks are all lousy, as near as anyone's been able to tell,
but Great Bridge did a benchmark some time ago which purported to
prove that PostgreSQL was almost as fast as an industry-leading
database with "7i" in its name. If that's useful to you, google for
"breat bridge benchmark".
