The main point to note here (which Ive seen noted a few times) is this:

MySQL's great performance was due mostly to our use of an in-memory 
query results cache that is new in MySQL 4.0.1. When we tested without

I have not myself used this cache but from people who have I heard it 
makes or breaks the product :-\\
