It is preferred way. PostgreSQL doesn't support a collations, and what
I know collation in 9.1 will not allow a comparation between case
sensitive and case insensitive text, because collation in PostgreSQL
is based on unix locale, and there are not case insensitive locale.
I don't know about performance problems. It does same work like case
insensitive collation.
