Actually no, I hadn't looked there.  It's not really something I would
have expected to see there I suppose.

I knew there had to be something that triggered a rescan, and I just
didn't know what it was.  By chance, three seconds was probably about
1/3 of a second less time than it took me to get out and back in :D,
which was why I was so confused as to what was causing it.   Now that
I know what's happening, I'm fine with it as-is.
