Benchmarks between DBs are pretty rare because they are so difficult to control for. The configurations make a big difference. One set of benchmarks is here: http://tweakers.net/reviews/657/6 but thats in 2006. Also, MySQL has known fatal bugs in the production release so mysql isn't exactly a safe choice.
