If you setup a RDB correctly (indexed correctly, optomized) it will on large load systems smoke flat files.

That's just utter and complete nonsense.

RDBs max out at thousands of transactions per second.

Flat file structures, on gigabit ethernet, max out at MILLIONS of transactions per second.

“RDBs max out at thousands of transactions per second. “

wha? if by thousands you mean nearly two hundred thousand of them and the atomic transaction done by a rdb is going to get far more work done than on a flat file structure.
