We use RT with PostgreSQL for all internal IT requests and
development/support/doc tasks on a couple products, and there's never
been a problem. Are the queries optimal? no. The alternative might have
been MySQL-only, and that would be worse. 

I can't really give a fair estimate on performance, because I'm running
it on a PIII at 800MHz with several other things as well. But it's fast
enough that I'm not screaming for a hardware upgrade.
