PostGres/PostGIS is can't be used because of project constraints (no complex db servers, etc.). Nevertheless, been there, done that. To really use the PostGIS functions (I am on that mailing list), I have to take account of other issues such as correct projections. Makes the task more complex than I need it to be. And, it is not an easily portable solution.
In any case, my testing shows that speed is comparable to what I have above.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
