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.
