This is not generally the case. The general rule ist that something where Mapnik has to do a reprojection is slower than something where it doesn't. So if you have imported OSM data with osm2pgsl without any extra flags then you have 900913 projected data in the database and it does not have to be reprojected. For the fastest 4326 results, import your data with "osm2pgsl -l".
