You can hide them with CSS, if you add to your pub/css/local.css file
something like this :
a.categorylink { display:none; }
You can apply this for a seleted group instead, by placing the code into a
file pub/css/SelectedGroup.css
Note that this way the links will be visible to search engines and to some
visitors with non-css-enabled browsers.

Yes, it is normally faster to search for links or for single words than for
PageTextVariables. But on a wiki with few pages the speed difference is small.

Right.
At the moment, it is not possible to list pages linking to two or more
categories or tags, but I use a workaround : hidden tags (keywords) starting
with the "_" character like :
(:tags: _text _wiki _FOSS _gallery :)
Then, in a pagelist, it is very fast to find all pages containing or not some
keyword :
(:pagelist _text _foss -_wiki -_pdf fmt=mytemplate count=3 order=-time:)
This will list pages containing the two strings "_text" and "_FOSS", and
containing neither "_wiki", nor "_pdf" (case insensitive).
The "_" character is particular : it will be stored together with the word in
.pageindex and will be very fast to find by a search or a pagelist, even on a
large wiki. It allows flexible searches, and it is not common for other words
in the page to start with this character, so it is perfect (in my case).
