MySql is a lot more robust than I think you guys are giving it credit. We run MySQL and process about 8 gb of data running, on average, a little more than one million queries each day. Right now our average is 710.19 queries per minute and we are running fine. We expect to be able to handle about 20,000+ per minute before we need to upgrade our db server or possibly move up to Oracle.
Your site is using a dedicated server though, correct? Most sites are using MySQL for small personal sites on virtual or shared servers. So, MySQL isn't going to seem all that fast at times.
