Hi Evgeniy,

This is great to know. aggregate_filter is quicker for the simple
reason it is a giant filter whereas pre_tag_map makes you specify
a collection of filters. I would add to the equation: don't under
estimate maintainability, which is much better with pre_tag_map:
ie. you can reload pre_tag_map content at runtime whereas you have
to restart pmacct in order to reload an aggregate_filter.

Cheers,
Paolo
