I was trying to say that you don't have to look them up. You get the 
member ids/types of the new relation, remove from that list the member 
ids/types of the old relation, and then look up only the remaining 
members, if any.

Or did you mean that it takes tens of seconds to execute the Rails 
equivalent of "select * from relation_members where id=1234"?

Bye
