Our tests -- very much oriented at postGIS found Oracle to be between 5 and 15% _faster_ depending on the specifics of the task.

Interesting. Do you have information about the versions of PostGIS/GEOS that you were using? Of course we'd be very interested to see examples of test cases with bad performance on the postgis-users list so that we can improve them.
