I would vote for size. On slow platforms like PalmOS or Dreamcast
these filters are not used at all, so it will have no impact on them.
For modern systems I think that speed decrease will be just few
percents, which doesn't really matters since there is no heavy
computations. But right now code size is kind of bloated and even more
to follow, that's why I vote for size.
