Here are the results, in both cases I loaded 100 rows in the parent table and 1000 in the child table, with foreign keys enabled.
Firebird 2.1 with Jaybird 2.1.3 and DBMonster 1.0.3 (And Java .6)
Table structure is:
CREATE TABLE GUYS(
GUY_ID Integer NOT NULL,
GUY_NAME Varchar(45) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_GUYS PRIMARY KEY (GUY_ID)
);
GRANT DELETE, INSERT, REFERENCES, SELECT, UPDATE
ON GUYS TO SYSDBA WITH GRANT OPTION;
CREATE TABLE BADS_ATTRIBUTES(
ATTRIBUTE_ID Integer NOT NULL,
GUY_ID Integer NOT NULL,
ATTRIBUTE_NAME Varchar(45) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_BADS_ATTRIBUTES PRIMARY KEY (ATTRIBUTE_ID,GUY_ID)
);
ALTER TABLE BADS_ATTRIBUTES ADD CONSTRAINT FK_BADS_ATTRIBUTES_1
FOREIGN KEY (GUY_ID) REFERENCES GUYS (GUY_ID) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE;
GRANT DELETE, INSERT, REFERENCES, SELECT, UPDATE
ON BADS_ATTRIBUTES TO SYSDBA WITH GRANT OPTION;

The same with MySQL 5.1.23 Connector/J 5.1.6 (InnoDB tables of course as I wanted to have FK)
Table structure is:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `test`.`guys`;
CREATE TABLE `test`.`guys` (
`guy_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`guy_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`guy_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1001 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `test`.`bads_attributes`;
CREATE TABLE `test`.`bads_attributes` (
`attribute_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`guy_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`attribute_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,

CONSTRAINT `FK_bads_attributes_1` FOREIGN KEY (`guy_id`) REFERENCES `guys` (`guy_id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE

The difference is quite large!
You can compare my results to those obtained by the SQLite team, hope that these numbers make sense to you.
I'll try with PostgreSQL too, just don't know when
