Note that should be "to support MySQL with MyISAM tables".
If they had written it for MySQL with innodb tables they would likely be
able to use the same basic methods for performance tuning MySQL as or
Oracle or PostgreSQL.
It's the refusal of people to stop using MyISAM table types that's the
real issue.
Of course, given the shakey ground MySQL is now on with Oracle owning
innodb...
