according to the docs we shouldn't call it too often
adding multiple filters could make that happen so calling it through a timer
might improve that

example:
- 0:01 filter.added: starts 2s timer
- 0:02 filter.added: clears previous timer, starts 2s timer
- 0:04 timer fires and calls handlerBehaviorChanged()

it might not make sense, though, if there is no way in the application that such
notifications are being dispatched that quickly
