Sorry for late reply.. The numbers were scaled off.. Actually my fiend forgot 
to add units to those number.. The actual numbers are 140ms for mysql and 17
5ms for postgresql.. Further since result are obtained via 'time psql' higher 
overhead of postgres connection establishement is factored in..

Neck to neck I would say..
