One other use here is to show a small random sample of your tasks without affecting speed.
In before sorting filter function, set a pseudorandom number (biased according to a distribution of your choice) on a text property. You can set some to appear always. In the mapcar function, use user-defined sorting to sort according to the numbers and limit to just the first 5. Can defadvice be relied on to keep working in future versions of Org?
