This is only from my own personal testing. Mind you that I have only been using PostgreSQL for a year or so. But one problem that I have always ran into with MySQL is that when JOIN'ing tables that have large data sets is a PITA.
Were you doing left joins when you experienced those problems? Left
joins are usually very fast.
If indexed properly of course ;)

Yes, but you're not going to get a performance improvement if you use
anything else if the table isn't properly indexed.

A subselect could win out in terms of performance especially if the table in the subselect is reasonably small (eg all fits into memory).
