 I'm proposing a new structure of $wp_filter array.

 This one can prevents the loops to add and to remove filters.

 With this changes the follow code is exec with not relevant differences:

 {{{
 for($i = 0, $j = 100000; $i<$j; $i++)
         add_filter("tag$i", "funtion");
 }}}

 But this is faster:

 {{{
 for($i = 0, $j = 100000; $i < $j; $i++)
         for($i2 = 0, $j2 = 3; $i2 < $j2; $i2++)
                 add_filter("tag$i", "funtion$i2");
 }}}

 The core of my proposal is to change the add_filter function with this
 one:

 {{{
 function add_filter($tag, $function_to_add, $priority = 10, $accepted_args
 = 1) {
         global $wp_filter;

         $wp_filter[$tag][$priority][serialize($function_to_add)] =
 array('function' => $function_to_add, 'accepted_args' => $accepted_args);
         return true;
 }
 }}}
