WITH is an optimization fence (at present --- there is discussion
of relaxing that) so it's not exactly surprising that these queries
perform differently. I am a little surprised though that case a)
is the faster one; usually, preventing the planner from optimizing
the whole query as one problem makes things worse.
Saying more than that would require a lot more detail.
