No.  It's a thing you can do, it's not the way someone must do it.

That's the kind of thing I do.

Years ago I found that adding a "stop processing" option to the end of
each rule to speed things up (I have had a high volume of mail for many
years that's only starting to decline these last few years).  That way,
as soon as a rule applies to a mail, it stops trying to see if it also
matches any other rules as well.

Also, I put the rules that have to handle the most messages at the top
of the rule list, that means that most of mail doesn't need as much
processing to sort.

I don't know why, but Evolution's mail filtering rules has always
painfully slow (it didn't matter what headers I chose to use for my
filtering rules).  So slow I don't use it.  Much slower than YAM on my
old 16MHz Amiga.

For many years I just weekly filtered mail from my inbox.  I'd use the
filter box to just show specific mail in my inbox (which is fast and
nippy at filtering the messages), and drag and drop all mail showing
into my preferred folders.  That was actually far less painful.
