Rushing the temple in Pete would accomplish seven things:
1. It would provide Pete with 2 grassland squares, 2 sea squares, 1 coast square, 1 hill square, 1 flood plain square, and 2 desert squares.
2. It would increase Swazi's chance of flipping from 1.7% to 2.1% per turn (my estimated numbers).
3. It would decrease Windurst's chance of flipping from 0.018% to practically 0%, if not completely eliminating the chance.
4. It would make the citizens of Pete happier, although it would be built in time without rushing to avoid a riot anyways.
5. It would increase our culture, reducing chance of our cities flipping and increasing the chance of other cities flipping, among other things.
6. It would cost 20, 40, or 60 gold and 1 gold per turn once it is built.
7. It would let Pete start working on another project earlier.
I think saving 20g by waiting 5 turns so Pete could use a new tile when it grows would be fine.

Something goes here...
In response to TimBentley's points
1. Yes, but see my response to point 2.
2. With those sorts of numbers, Swazi is gonna flip eventually - no need to rush it. Once Swazi does flip, then Pete will get some of those extra tiles
3. If Windurst's chance of flipping is currently 0.018%, the chance of it flipping at anytime in the next 30 turns (ie before completion of temple) is less than 0.6%
4. As you say, it will be built in time anyways
5. Yes, but that's not as important as keeping the money for things like horsemen and embassies (sorry, had to put the foreign affairs speech in somewhere!)
6. We need the money for other things (particularly upgrading horsemen)
7. Yes, but what?
In short, I don't think the costs outweigh the benefits of keeping the money and using it another way

We need the gold for upgrade prior to war, if you guys want to make it harder to win that is your decision.
