 I presume geography  in 2.0.4 and goegraphy in 2.1 should return the same
 answer.  In benchmarking client's dat I found something slighly troubling:


 {{{
 SELECT COUNT(*) FROM face
 WHERE ST_DWithin(geog, st_setsrid(st_makepoint(-71.0636, 42.3584),
 4326)::geography, 1609.344 );

 }}}

 when I run this on

 whammo I got 2 geometries less and lost a good chunk of speed.

 I ran a couple of times on each database with similar timings.


 I'll try to get permission from client to release this datasource, but in
 mean time I'll try to narrow down to the offending geometries.
