Comment(by nicklas):

 By removing, do you mean removing all the _rtree stuff as chodgson
 suggests in #846? He states that the point in poly test for _st_intersects
 is necessary to save for non cached geometries. If so, the problem will
 not go away, if I remember right. I have not looked at the code now.

 But I guess geos could take care of non cached cases too, then we maybe
 can just get rid of the whole problem. And closing #846 as a bonus :-)

 But is it only _ST_Intersects that is using those functions? I should take
 a look in doxygen, but not now, sorry.
