The comparison is totally outdated. Even back then it was not accurate, 
neither on MySQL nor on PostgreSQL. As for speed over data integrity, 
MySQL users have become accustomed to making these trade off's, which 
does make MySQL a better fit for some projects. I dont really see any 
lesson for PostgreSQL in there though.
