I am *not* primarily interested in embedded, but I know people who are, and I have already compared with SQLite.
My main point of concern right now is for more middle sized platforms (such as an average workstation), to be able to
answerthe question of how Postgres shows in transactions per second against another RDBMS or two.

If you're looking at embedded usage, and footprint is an issue (it
usually is even if you think it won't be) look at sqllite. Pretty
good embedded db and lightweight. Pgsql is not intended to compete in
the embedded space.
