Yep - it's really annoying for large layers. If you go to settings -> options -> data sources you can change "attribute table behaviour" to "show features visible on map". That'll help a bit. I've got changes incoming which also improve the performance if you have the "show selected features" option enabled (https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/4164).
