Not much use if 99% of your mail is kept on remote IMAP servers, as mine

I don't in fact find Evo filtering to be particularly slow, but of
course it depends on the filtering criteria, the incoming message set,
the order of filters, and the actions they carry out. Too many variables
for a meaningful comparison.
