Bitcoin Core maintains a signature validation cache and a script validation 
cache (see the ValidationCache class), which generally means that mempool 
transactions don't need to be (fully) validated again when seen in a block. The 
script validation cache includes the validation flags (including which 
consensus rules are active) too, so the cache will not function across softfork 
activations, for example.
