Comment(by strk):

 More background on the topic here:
 http://blog.cartodb.com/post/20163722809/speeding-up-tiles-rendering

 The numbers there show that running ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology (simpTP)
 on the data can make the whole operation (process,fetch,render) slower
 than rendering the whole vertices (vanilla), thus defeating the purpose of
 vector reduction.
