I have little experience with the pgsnapshot schema so cannot really 
say. When we started doing the Geofabrik extracts, that schema wasn't 
around and PostGIS was at release 1.3 and had really bad 
point-in-polygon performance so unless you were happy with rectangular 
extracts, it was impossible to run the job off a PostGIS database. 
Things might have changed now and I'd love to hear from someone who 
tried it.

Bye
Frederik
