One of the other reasons for moving to rails was the holy grail of using postgres, and rails is theoretically db independent. Of course it didn't work out that way. On the specific point, I'm all for more speedy SQL on things like that so long as there is a rails logic way too - in much the same way as there apparently is with the tileid stuff. Then if things change significantly (like, say with changesets, rollback, spatial data types) we don't have limited options.
