I've seen systems at that scale where that's roughly true. But I've also seen systems where those jobs come in a daily batch, at a point in time of day, and then nothing until the next day's batch.

Yep, even websites can be highly non-periodic. I used to run the web services for the 50 or so magazines that Risk-Waters had at the time, and around lunch time was a massive peak of traffic, easily 100x our slower times.

Postgres could still handle that though, IMHO :)
