Someone should try it with postgres. Make a raw speed branch that gets rid of the overhead of mvcc:

  while querying a database each transaction sees a snapshot of data (a database version) as it was some time ago, regardless of the current state of the underlying data

That’s not exactly how PostgreSQL works. This is true only at certain isolation levels.
