Comment(by robe):

 I think for the reason that Nicklas had stated that ST_Intersects in
 theory should be faster, but I haven't done any official tests myself to
 be sure.  We tend to use ST_DWithin for most everything just because for
 most cases we need a little bit of tolerance (or are working with less
 than perfect geometries)  which we don't get with ST_Intersects.

 I would have said before 1.5 that ST_Intersects was most definitely
 faster, but now that ST_DWithin speed has improved for larger geometries,
 I'm not so sure.
