I'm not against the idea of using postgres, but I have a sneaky suspicion, that you could have gotten that 30% speed benefit from MySQL, if you did some performance work on it. Or in other words, I don't feel that migrating from one relational database to another similar relational database was worth that much trouble.

Thats interesting, as my dev experience would allow me to tune queries better in Postgres (the visual query planner makes it easier and there are more join types), while tuning them through configuration on either database would involve a lot more trail and error reading. I would more likely know what to do by migrating.
