I believe I've found it.

cvs repository 02/17/2003 [email protected]
    ...
    flist.tcl - FlistFindSeqsInner added check to eliminate calls to
        Seq_Set if the sequence information for a folder hasn't changed
    ...

I assume this was done because Seq_Set was too slow.  Have tweaks done since 
then improved the situation enough that we can dike this check out?
