Comment (by ryan):

 get_posts() is usually used specifically because it avoids the hooks in
 WP_Query. Those hooks can screw things up when you want what is really in
 the DB.  get_posts() also avoids the parse query overhead.  Maybe the
 query guts in WP_Query::get_posts() could be moved into ::get_posts()
 which would then be called from WP_Query::get_posts().  That way the
 actual DB query functionality isn't duplicated.  Don't know how doable
 that is.
