Yes. Off-topic but I've no reason to doubt it.

This is not about superior performance from where I stand. I was just reacting to the seemingly continuous rant about how apps slow down in Oracle compared with Informix. And not once have I ever experienced that nor have I seen independent published results that support it. And as you should know from reading what I write ... I don't think benchmarks are of much value except to people in sales and marketing. I just wanted to challenge the statement you made.
