It would be useful to be able to filter the edit task working set dialog so you could quickly check all projects whose names contain a certain string.

+1 makes sense to me.

I noticed that when subversive is installed, the task working set dialog is quite slow to load, and this text filter is very slow.

Actually it is just as slow with Subclipse installed. In either case it blocks at org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.tasks.ui.TasksUiPlugin.getRepositoryForResource(IResource) line 1261.

Actually, this doesn't work: sometimes filtering unchecks items in the tree.

Yes, some linking providers perform expensive (I/O) operations that can cause the UI to block. It would be nicer if the grouping ran in the background or would at least show a cancelable progress monitor.

My experience with the check box tree is that it only works properly when used with an ICheckStateProvider (BuildServerPart has an example for that). Unfortunately that interface is only available on Eclipse 3.5 and later so we wouldn't be able to use this for the task working set dialog, yet.
