Any of my servers are connected to a managed 1GE Switch with 40GE backplane. And the network was always faster then the disk access on SATA drives. I do not know, which server (homebrew?) you are using, but even a small "Fire X4100" outbeats most Web/Mail applications. Also 99% of the access is read only. Also is PostgreSQL much more secure then mySQL and this IS prooven.
