Is there any other way to search the archives than the sourceforge web interface ? The UI is crappy and inefficient (or maybe I missed something obvious)
You may want to have a look at the thread called "Alternative to Inkscape for Windows 7" from the beginning of september (this year). (It's on the user mailing list btw. ~suv already gave some excellent suggestions for where to search)
all these problems are non-trivial to solve.
Maybe it lacks at least one trivial optimisation. It looks like Inkscape render all primitives even if they're not "connected" to output.
You could very well be right that Inkscape does not prevent rendering "unused" filters. If you feel like trying your hand at implementing your own suggestion, some of the relevant files are:
src/sp-filter* display/nr-filter.* display/nr-filter-primitive.* display/nr-filter-slot.* filters/*
There are, however, some things to keep in mind. Specifically, I recommend a close reading of: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/filters.html#CommonAttributes (So filter primitives without an explicitly set "result" /can/ be used.)
