Olivier, that's a good point; the simplest implementation of the "review" feature I could think of (back when we were campaigning for the feature to be added) was based on a "last modified" date. Review would filter items based on their review frequency and last modified date--for example, if you had a task with a review frequency of 14 days, the dynamic "Review" view would only show it if it hadn't been modified in the past 14 days. That way, it would require almost zero overhead.
I did find a shortcut for marking items as reviewed. In the Review screen, you can click on the Mark Reviewed button directly in the table instead of having to click on the Properties panel for each task. This speeds up my reviews a lot.
