Probably. But then, I think mySQL is used for 99.9% in web environment,
where you often have a different transaction model and mySQL's concept
of atomic operations work quite well. You need to be a little bit more
aware of some issues, but the payoff in performance is often worth
it for websites with unpredictable loads.
