Ah. And that links to dev.mysql.com, so it's presumably the same
thing... would be nice if they'd say that on their own site. That's
what I was looking for, anyhow. Confirms the suspicion.

There may well be performance differences between pure-Python
implementations and ones that go via C, but having used a
pure-high-level-language implementation of PostgreSQL's wire protocol
(granted, that was Pike, which is a somewhat higher performance
language than Python, but same difference), I can assure you of what
ought to be obvious anyway: that performance is dominated by the
server's throughput and thus (usually) by disk speed. So it's going to
be pretty much the same with all of them; look for ancillary features
that might make your life easier, otherwise pick whichever you like.
