Bad press

Quick summary:  A company called skypak india has been using postgresql
for a ocuple of years, but has determined it is putting too much
pressure on their hardware infrastructure. They do claim that they spoke
to a consulting company but that it was counter productive. The only
details from the article regarding what kind of load they have are
"Powered by an Intel Xeon 2.4 Ghz dual processor machine with 1GB RAM,
the database server handles an average request load from five users, who
fire approximately 100 queries an hour."  Which to me sounds like
something that should be doable (depending on specifics of course).

A quick search didn't turn up anyone from that company having posted to
the lists for help... is anyone familiar with the company? I'd like to
contact them to see if we could get some specifics about their problems.
