Is there an original author?

This page could use some NPOV editing. The database is described as "fast", but fast is a relative term. It should be qualified by benchmarks, comparison to other database engines, or at least discuss which types of operations it performs particularly quickly. Regarding transactions and other recent features; the article should specify the version numbers at which features were added. Since transactions are only supported on certain types of tables, this should also be mentioned. It wouldn't hurt to mention Monty Widenius; isn't he at least one of the primary developers?

:Please, go ahead and make the additions. --AxelBoldt

Anytime we discuss specific software packages, we have to do it objectively as third-party reviewers, rather than let the article sound like sales copy.
