What filter pattern are you using? I have found filter to be very fast even with large lists, provided the filter pattern is simple. e.g. filter with "*blue*" is fast but filter with "*" & tab & "*" & tab & "*blue* will be slow. If this is the sort of thing you are trying, then I suggest a preliminary fast filter to get the overall length down, then maybe changing to a "repeat for each" loop to refine the filter. And as Chris said, make sure you are always operating on a variable, not the contents of a field.
