Apologizes if this has already been announced -

http://www.scribd.com/doc/551889/Introducing-Freebsd-70

a presentation of the SMP in FreeBSD 7.0 using PostgreSQL and MySQL to
produce benchmarks.

Notable quotes -

a) MySQL degrades after utilizing all CPUs, while PostgreSQL does not
(the explanation is that MySQL has scalability problem).

b) PostgreSQL is in general 35%-45% faster.

I can't tell if all is true, just wanted to make it public, if it hasn't
been already made.
