[postgis-devel] optimized predicates

[Kevin Neufeld]

Hi folks, there seems to be a significant memory leak issue with 
ST_Contains() and ST_Intersects().

I'm trying to do a simple point-in-polygon join using ~800 points and 
~250000 polygons.

Running PG8.3.3, PGIS1.3.3, and GEOS="3.1.0-CAPI-1.5.0", the query 
spikes up to 3GB of RAM before completing in 20seconds.

Running PG8.2.0, PGIS1.1.6, the query uses a nominal amount of memory 
(indeterminable looking at top), and also runs in 20secs.
