This has nothing to do with performance per se, IIRC. RT was/is 
traditionally designed with the MySQL backend, and thus it is in use 
for most installations. If You use postgres, You need to know what You 
are doing even more than when using MySQL, where others can give You 
specific advice on using it with RT.

It might be the database schemas are not as well designed for postgres 
as for MySQL, which could lead to a performance hit.
