Depends, the only thing that takes time in filters is to look through
the body of the message. The header generally fits quiet well in RAM and
is fast access. But you can limite that with message_body_visible
anyway.
If you have something like 10 message per hour per user and have only
1000 odd users. Then there will be no issues in running filters. If you
have 3 million users then, do you really trust them to run filters? ;>
