Hi,

thank you for bringing up the issue.
I have also been troubled by performance issues with my agenda views.

I have about 12000 lines of org text. Starting this agenda view

 ("A" agenda "prio A agenda"
         ((org-agenda-skip-function
           (lambda nil
             (org-agenda-skip-entry-if (quote notregexp) "\\=.*\\[#A\\]")))
          (org-agenda-ndays 3)
          (org-deadline-warning-days -1)
          (org-agenda-overriding-header "Today's Priority #A tasks: ")))

takes several seconds on my EmacsW32 3 GHz CPU. After changing the tag 
inheritance setting to nil the view shows in about 1 second! Which is 
good enough!
