When you switch to pg, you will be able to move some/lots? of your code
into the database as views, stored procedures, triggers etc... So keep
that in mind while working in MySQL, as you will definitely need a
different approach.
I inherited a site that had very database-hungry pages, and started
using stored procs and triggers to automate some of the jobs (like
updates and such) in the database, instead of making the webserver
manually send the instructions across the wire. If you plan on taking
this approach then you should get your app into pg sooner than later...
