Whenever you set filter you need to...
1)Ensure that you have an index on the field you are filtering
2)set order to 0, otherwise you essentially get 2 filters fighting each other
3)if you have set deleted on, you should have an index on deleted(), something like "INDEX ON DELETED() TAG ISDELETED"

In most cases it is better to use an SQL Cursor for most filters.

Hope this helps //:^)
