You said it yourself. Smaller and faster. For 99% of the apps out there,
record versioning, foreign keys (I think that's in pgsql now, isn't it?),
and large object support aren't required. You take the tradeoff to gain
speed.
Transaction support is nice though.
I just wish the PHP functions for pgsql were as easy to work with as
the mysql ones.
