comment Which SRS to use for global distance queries?
@nickves yes I saw that, but postgis is really not fast enough for me. I need less then 2ms latency and should be able to handle 1000 request per sec. I could reverse engineer postgis's solutions though :)

Hey, that is an idea! I could squeeze in another dimension in my KDTree and work with that. Will need some rework though :)

And the best approx? I don't really care about the poles, only penguins there, but something that performs geometrically better than WGS84?

Ah, and an arc would be the difference between two points on the same line of lat or lon?

Well, that is the point. Postgis is not fast enough for me. What I do right now is put all points in redis and make a KDtree index on top of it. BUT the KDtree is a geometric solution. If I ask it a question like "give all points in 1k radius" it treads the distance geometrically. I cant do haversine there. I need to convert it beforehand to a roughly equidistant SRS. But which one?

Tried it, but postgresql-9.1-postgis also has postgresql-9.1 as an dependency. Is it possible to do this without that?

Yes, using the csv route does work. Now I know why python and geos input plugins are still experimental.
