Boris,
  I would agree that my initial impression of 5.3 was that it was slow
compared to 4.x.  After some tuning, I now have 5.3 running at an
acceptable performance level.  You may want to start testing the newer
versions of 5 current.  I have noticed improved performance on my test
servers and believe that 5.4 will demonstrate an improvement in
performance.  I know that the guys on the performance list would like
to get some good feedback if you find any specific bottlenecks with it
as well.
