Another performance benchmark we should investigate?

This might be worth looking into.

PolePosition is a benchmark test suite to compare database engines and 
object-relational mapping technology. As of today it is by no means complete. 
Database vendors and open source database project participants are invited to 
improve the test implementations and to contribute further disciplines 
("Circuits"). The PolePosition framework source code will help to implement 
own tests quickly and to time and output the results as number series and 
graphic visualisations.

Currently they have the following DB's in their test results: MySQL, Mckoi, 
HSQLDB, db4o.
