I realize this is akin to discussing religion, but using filters
is slow. People have been known to do some pretty strange and
disgusting things in the name of speed. I would cite the 4.2 BSD
filesystem as an example of trading off simplicity for speed.
(but not as an example of a strange or disgusting hack)

Anyway, this topic will probably not benefit from discussion, for
I basically agree with you. (but "more" is still slow)
