Actually no. PostgreSQL and MySQL are certainly not neck to neck especially in performance. See http://tweakers.net/reviews/657 http://tweakers.net/reviews/657

Summary: MySQL comes close to beating PostgreSQL (in speed) when there is little contention but gets absolutely clobbered when there are multiple users simultaneously.
My addition: Even with 5.1, MySQL is still severely lacking when it comes to ANSI features as compared to PostgreSQL and other commercial solutions like Oracle and DB2.
