ST_DWITHIN with zero buffer faster than ST_WITHIN ?

Hi, I'm performing a spatial join with:

```
CREATE TABLE regions_obs AS
SELECT adm2_name, count(*) AS cnt
FROM atlas a
JOIN regions_qc r ON ST_Within(a.geom, r.geometry)
GROUP BY adm2_name;
```
The atlas table has 55 million rows and an RTREE index on the geometry. The regions_qc file has 17 polygons. The query above takes several hours and a lot of memory on a machine with 15 cores and 180GB of RAM.

However, this query

```
CREATE TABLE regions_obs AS
SELECT adm2_name, count(*) AS cnt
FROM atlas a
JOIN regions_qc r ON ST_DWithin(a.geom, r.geometry,0)
GROUP BY adm2_name;
```
Which, to my understanding, should be identical, finishes in about 15 minutes.

Any idea why that is ?
