I was only considering the application to web stats.  For any kind of "real"
database work I'ld say use Postgres.  For elementary or trivial purposes,
MySQL's speed makes it worth it.  Especially for webstats.  If you have even
a moderately busy site, the log files can get enormous.  In a piping
situation, a slow database could even slow down the web server.
