I disabled org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance but I can't provide a lot of
feedback because I don't use many tag filters:

1. I disabled it in a batch script that exports my agenda, though it
doesn't actually speed up the agenda (even with org-element-use-cache
disabled); I guess it's because the agenda view I'm exporting doesn't do
any filter (in particular, filter by tag).

2. I disabled it in my .emacs, but I guess it has no effect because I also
disabled org-use-tag-inheritance, because I've never needed tag inheritance.

I temporarily enabled org-use-tag-inheritance
and org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance and opened an agenda that filters by tag
(it combines 4 one-tag filters), it seems to run almost as fast; 25 to 26
seconds with tag inheritance enabled, whereas with tag inheritance disabled
it takes around 24 seconds. These are manual measurements which may be 1 or
2 seconds off, so you may want to measure it more precisely; they may take
the same time. Anyway I don't see slowness due to tag inheritance in agenda.
