Make it two tests. Yes, having slow filters is not great, but it renders eventually. And there is not security thread that reveals privacy data from the user (we checked this in the WG before).

The limitation to 5000 before and the filter area limitation now are not performance related but shall avoid creating too big buffers and cause crashes.
