can we please stop letting these hit the front page until people write reasoned articled free from the obvious bias that makes them resemble playground arguments.

Does such an article exist? I actually prefer these debates because they don't pretend to be unbiased. They put their cards on the table.

If someone seems unbiased it just means it hid the bias well, but achieved the same result.

Here's the thing. They don't put their cards on the table. They just bicker, going tit for tat on every little argument. There is far too little science being discussed.

Couldn't agree more.

We need case studies and proposed solutions from both camps, putting them to real tests.

Dennis Forbes really seems like the much more rational debater in this exchange.

I do like reading the back and forth. They both make good points, and this is an argument with real applicability to help us decide what tech to be using in the future.

The widespread adoption of cheap SSDs and super fast IO performance is going to be a huge difference maker.

If anyone is curious about some real-world data with lots of specific details, Linden Lab published tons of details around their most recent MySQL update here: https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/technology/blog/2010/...

Short version is that currently primary MySQL server now peaks at 11,500 queries per second.
