Yes, well, it checks the date of each top-level folder, and if the date 
is different than when one left TM, it goes down a level etc. On 
network mounted filesystems the date doesn't seems to be reliable, and 
this check is slow. On a normal filesystem it _should_ really be a fast 
check, but based on feedback, this isn't the case for all users.

Well, it needs to update the project drawer, and it needs the file list 
for e.g. cmd-T etc. -- but yes, there's room for improvements, and as 
previously stated, it will be changed to be more lazy and offload some 
scanning to separate threads -- but it'll have to wait till I anyway 
will update the project window for other planned changes and 
improvements.
