For us, 

even InnoDB was way to slow. It took hours to insert attributes.
We switched to PostgreSQL three years ago. Since then, no more performance 
problems.
Also, creating the tree for restores was magnitudes faster with PostgreSQL.

It heavily depends on the number of files and attributes in the db, so for us 
PostgreSQL was the right choice.
Try it out.
