Ouch, that hurts.
To support mysql, they break performance for _every other_ database system?

Now, I understand how the mysql people manage to spread the legend of
mysql being fast. They convince software developers to thwart all others.

Seriously: How can we convince developers to either fix MySQL or abandon
and replace it with a database, instead of crippling client software?

Well, if you read the documentation, you will see that it will only wait
if there are at least commit_siblings other transactions active. So when
Bacula serializes access, there will be no delays, as there is only a
single transaction alive.
