The MySQL Database Server is very fast

The MySQL Database Server is very fast, reliable, scalable, and easy to use.
If that is what you are looking for, you should give it a try. MySQL Server can run comfortably on a
desktop or laptop, alongside your other applications, web servers, and so on, requiring little or no
attention. If you dedicate an entire machine to MySQL, you can adjust the settings to take advantage
of all the memory, CPU power, and I/O capacity available. MySQL can also scale up to clusters of
machines, networked together.
You can find a performance comparison of MySQL Server with other database managers on our
benchmark page. See Section 8.12.2, “The MySQL Benchmark Suite”.
MySQL Server was originally developed to handle large databases much faster than existing
solutions and has been successfully used in highly demanding production environments for several
years. Although under constant development, MySQL Server today offers a rich and useful set of
functions. Its connectivity, speed, and security make MySQL Server highly suited for accessing
databases on the Internet.
