One thing that I was unable to find good comparisons of is performance of PostgreSQL vs. Others (Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase). Does anyone have any benchmarks that I could use to demonstrate performance of PostgreSQL against these other databases.

I assume that an announcement of these benchmarks will be made on this
list...?
