Rails static assets

In Rails 3.1 world, where is the recommended location for static assets that don't require precompilation or preprocessing (such as fonts and images)? The current Rails documentation is a little unclear about whether they "should" be placed in the "right" location (app/assets/font, app/assets/images, etc.) or whether placing them directly in public/assets is acceptable.

(note #1: I'm aware of Rails 4 static assets in public/ or app/assets/, but it's a) Rails 4 specific and b) has only one answer which I don't find convincing.)

(note #2: I'm asking this question because I'm looking for ways to speed up asset precompilation - I'd welcome answers in that context.)

From Asset Pipeline documentation

Assets can still be placed in the public hierarchy. Any assets under public will be served as static files by the application or web server. You should use app/assets for files that must undergo some pre-processing before they are served.
