I mentioned Simpy on this list before.
I'm one of the Lucene developers and co-author of Lucene in Action
(Erik, the other co-author, is also on this list, I believe), so guess
what powers Simpy?

Simpy is also not using MySQL.  I'd looove to see your benchmarks run
on other databases, for instance PostgreSQL, or Oracle.  Any chance you
can do that?

Regarding comments about the Popular page (and CSS and such).... I
can't talk about it yet, but keep an eye on Simpy.  What you addressed
is precisely what the upcoming release will address.  I better hurry up
and get to work, now that I said this in public.
