I have a region_polygons table where region_polygons.rpg_geom is a MULTIPOLYGON. I want to select rows in the geom_table where geom_table.geom_fld is within region_polygons.rpg_geom

The following idiom works for me, but is waaaay slow (whereas I found other kinds of spatial queries are pretty zippy):

SELECT * from geom_table where EXISTS
                (select rpg_id from region_polygons where
geom_fld && rpg_geom and intersects(geom_fld, rpg_geom) and rpg_name='GVRD_OLD')

Where should I start?

a) Simplify the multipolygon?
b) Joins instead of EXISTS?
c) Would putting the literal WK format for the polygon right into the SQL query help?
d) ... or something else?
