But also, if you do care about performance you really shouldn't be running Oracle.

(Sort of a joke, because no one should be. But sort of true because they tend only win in the case of very fragile tuning that cannot be done in a timely way. And because of course if you spent that same money on hardware, you'd usually be better off with postgresql.)

I'm totally onboard with the no-one should be running Oracle sentiment :)

Several years out of the loop now, but I remember that Oracle, at least used to be, up to twice as fast as
PostgreSQL and MySQL on the same hardware and also the Magic Money Tree would provide far more money for
Oracle hardware since the license was so expensive :(
