some comments in line but more or less yes.
also the best thing you can do is disable filters you dont need.

the AggregateInstanceExtraSpecsFilter is actually expensive in some cases as it has to get the aggreate metadata for
each aggreate the hosts is a member of and then compare the flavor extra specs to the metadata specifid in those
aggrates so this get expssive as the numaber of aggreates a host is a member of grows. the worst case sclaing for this
in NxM where N is the number of hosts an M is the maxium number of aggates a host is a part of. in other words this
scales in quadratic complexity. fortunately that is the worst case but its generally liniar.

Thinking about it a little more the aggreate filters below also have the same upper bound but in generaly most hosts
are in 1 aggreated so it remains liniar.

strictly speaking in rocky the 3 filter above are not deprecated yet but they are in train.
the reason they werent deprecacated sooner was we forgot when we deprecated the non aggregate versions.
so you shoudl ideally avoid useign those.

this is pretty cheap i hope to eventurally replace this with placment eventurally.

this is more or less the same as the AggregateInstanceExtraSpecsFilter in terms of cost

my gut feeling is both the AggregateInstanceExtraSpecsFilter and AggregateImagePropertiesIsolation would be here for non
simple cases but if you keep things pretty lininar it would be in the group above because it does are resonably number
of comparisons and may be non liniar.
