The oil filter is (at least it should be) the smallest mesh in the system and requires the most work to get the oil through. The oil flows a lot easier when it's hot. You're making the pump do unnecessary work by waiting to filter after it has been cooled. I won't represent a significant workload, but there's no reason to throw horses away.
