    PostgreSQL can NEVER contend with Oracle, Sybase, or DB/2. Until they raise the performance to at least half of say... grep... it can't be taken seriously. Forget these "benchmarks" I'm talking real world performance. Never in my life have I been so disappointed in an application. Mediocrity is the same at any price, free or not. A new pretty face for their website solves none of these problems. I think the time wasted on this facelift could have been better spent on real development.
