I can only speak for testing IN-vs-EXISTS speed on MSSQLServer at
$OLD_JOB, but there it's usually about the same, occasionally with IN
winning out. However, the wins were marginal, and MSSQL is a 2nd-class
citizen in the Django world, so I'm +1 on using EXISTS instead of IN,
if the results are assured to be the same.

However, the query constuction to move the condition into the EXISTS
subclause might be a bit more complex.
