I don't remember reading it will be very slow. I just remember that I've 
read it will slow down some things (which I think is logical in this case).

When using PostgreSQL, I need correct collating order for strings so I 
have no other choice. I didn't do any speed tests but I think if you 
need correct behaviour for your locale, you should use your locale. Just 
try it and you will see the results. You can then make a decision for 
yourself. I think you won't be the only one using locale for your 
database ;-)
