I especially love this bit:

All systems were installed with their default settings

Which makes the result immediately useless for PostgreSQL since the
default settings are set so you can run it on the average Linux
machine. There have been attempts over the years to get the Linux
kernel devs to increase the SHM limit higher than 32MB but they
refuse.

No-one runs a serious installation on the default settings. All this
test proves is that MonetDB has better default settings. Big whoop.
Wake me up when there's a real test.

Have a nice day,
