I beg to differ. All anecdotal evidence, and also Sun benchmarks with
Postgres, show that it is not only "in the same realm" but can actually come
out ahead.

This publication shows that a properly tuned
PostgreSQL is not only as fast or faster than MySQL,
but almost as fast as Oracle (since the hardware platforms
are different, it's hard to compare directly).
This is something we've been saying for the last 2 years, and now we can prove it.
There are links to the SPEC site which shows the tuning parameters.
