[postgis-users] Speed up query

[Gheorghiu, Mihai]

I have a query that places points in polygons:
insert into results (
                select a.point_id, b.polygon_id
                from  points a, polygons b
                where st_contains(ST_GeomFromWKB(ST_AsBinary(b.geog),4326),ST_GeomFromWKB(ST_AsBinary(a.geog),4326)) = 't'
);
There are ~1M points and ~300k polygons. There are geo indexes on the geog columns of both tables.
What changes would make the query faster?

Thank you very much.

Michael
