Comment(by strk):

 Yes, within and contains (and intersects) all have a short-circuit using
 the postgis algorithm when one operand is a polygon (or multipolygon) and
 the other is a point.

 Given the fact the same operations would use PreparedGeometries I'm
 wondering
 if that shortcut has any real advantage... After all the same operation
 against
 prepared geometries should be faster (as the prepared polygon would be
 indexed).
