Hello,

When bugreport is used with its GTK UI to raise a bug report against wnpp,
there are approximately eight thousands of bug reports to deal with.

The algorithm used to refilter such a set of bug reports is way too slow.
For example, try to type "normal" in the text entry, and wait a long, long
while.

Here is a list of things which can be improved:

- when one types "normal", the refilter process is called with "n", "no",
"nor", etc.
  waiting a bit before triggering the process would allow the user to type more
  characters before the time-consuming operation
- each refilter process will concatenate again and again strings of the
treeview's
  columns. This work is forgotten between successive refiltering processes, and
  it should be kept, as the concatenated strings are constants.

I shall try to propose a MR for those changes.
