What you filed is just what we are trying to avoid in this release for the performance improvement. Users are encouraged to filter cases to get what they need upon which to operate. Imagine what's going on when there are more than thousand of cases within a TestPlan, meanwhile we as the developer cannot assume the possible number of cases that a TestPlan would have. Loading them all is not a good practice at all.

We disccused another ways to give users a convenient way to apply operation to the same sort of cases selected from loaded cases, maybe like the behavior Gmail provides, which gives user the oppotunity to determine whether he wants to apply subsequent operation to all mails that meets the filter criterias.
