Marcus Ohlstr�m described the technique pretty clearly in
<mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

As I understand the problem, you have a lot of complicated common
filters.  Since the common filters are evaluated before account
filters, you have to specify "continue processing other filters" for
each common filter in order to get to the account filters.  So, every
message gets evaluated by every common filter, and this overwhelms
TB!.  Correct?

If so, you could prevent this by having a single common filter with
the special matching condition "Any message".  It would have "continue
processing other filters" checked.  All of your current existing
common filters would become sub-filters of this one, and each
sub-filter would have "continue processing other filters" unchecked.

By definition each incoming message would match the common filter, so
TB! would begin evaluating the sub-filters.  This would continue until
one was matched.  At this point evaluation of all remaining
sub-filters would abort, and since the parent filter allowed
subsequent filters, the account filters would be evaluated.

If only common sub-filters worked.

This is a bug I think Ritlabs really needs to fix.  Filtering is a
pretty key feature, and a part of it simply doesn't work.  It's not
like this is an elusive bug.
