Well, this is an open source community, and it doesn't have the money
or the resources to perform such a benchmark. Similarly, regardless
of your opinion regarding TPC database benchmarks, I (and several
others) have run these tests ourselves and know for a fact that both
Oracle and SQL Server's results aren't fake. Likewise, I (and other
PG companies) know where PG stands in comparison.

I'm not quite sure where you're coming from, because you obviously
haven't performed any of these benchmarks yourself and are therefore a
bit uninformed in regard to questioning their validity.
