Hi Bill,

No, there is no ReleaseDataFlagOn() in the filters used.
I have displayed the progress of all the filters to verify that they are  
not reexecuted if they shouldn't, and everything looks nice (but the  
timing are still not what they should).
It's a major problem for me: how can I evaluate the performance of the  
filters in that situation ?
