   This uses the SQLite_ embedded RDBMS to provide a fast, scaleable backend.
   There are no limitations, and it's much faster and more scaleable than the
   dbm backends.
+**mysql**
+  Backend for popular RDBMS MySQL. This backend uses MySQL's Berkeley DB
+  (transaction safe) table format, so with small amount of data it may be a
+  bit slower than *dbm backends (due to mysql layer's overhead). However with
+  lots of data mysql may perform better (due to query optimisation). No actual
+  serious benchmarks were made though. For more info on installation of this
+  backend see doc/mysql.txt. 
 **metakit**
   This backend is implemented over the metakit_ storage system, using Mk4Py as
   the interface. It scales much better than the dbm backends.
