Cool!

That said I agree that we should not block improvements in the generic
filtering code because of issues in perf uses of filters.

I believe it used to work better in perf by the past, but I saw similar
issues lately like those Ingo noticed. So probably something
broke and we need to investigate. But until then your patches are
still nice improvements: lesser memory usage, lesser kernel stack usage in the
fast path, lesser limitation, faster and smarter filter evaluation...
