1000 rowdy kindergardeners.
I can relate to that analogy... I can also laugh when I picture it in my mind.

Hmmm... We did some load testing here (with Perl::DBI) and MySQL was very
fast with just a few concurrent users but as soon as we cranked up the number of concurrent users MySQL bogged down but Oracle kept going. For read
consistency I think MySQL is actually putting locks on tables during a query
and when you have some intense queries with a lot of concurrent users they
have to wait in line like 1000 rowdy kindergardeners.
