It would have been more interesting if MySQL 3.23 had been tested as
this has reached what seems to be a fairly stable beta and seems to
perform some operations significantly faster than 3.22 and I believe
may scale somewhat better as well. Of course it may not be so
interesting for most PostgreSQL users :-)
