Tell me about it. I converted a system like that to MySQL a while
back. It's soooo much faster (and more flexible) now.

Depends on the usage pattern. Mostly reading with some writes? Mostly
writes with some reads? 50/50?

better than what you have today in any of those cases. How much better
will depend on the details of your application and setup...
