Forgive me if I'm mis-reading your response, Guy, but this is a new
issue that just started in version 0.10.14. Filter validation is
certainly not new to 0.10.14, but the long delay when entering ip
address filters is.
Nope, it's not new in 0.10.14. I just reproduced it with 0.10.13 (.13, not .14), on Windows XP. 

I wasn't seeing it before I turned on network name resolution.

I started seeing it as soon as I turned it on.


I am still running version 0.10.13 on another machine and there is no
delay whatsoever when entering the above display filter.


Do you have network name resolution turned on?
Did you try a filter such as 111.222.333.444 (yes, with something that's an illegal dotted quad)? 

Did you try a filter with a host name rather than an address?
It might be that a change in 0.10.14 makes it more *likely* that this problem shows up, but it does occur in earlier releases, and it has been complained about in earlier releases. See, for example, bug 523:
