Do you mean that they are using the equivalent of a movie to display
the expansion and collapse of the folders and elements?
To what end? Illustrate poor design. perhaps.
I was told by some Macr people that they were redoing the Code explorer
app to improve performance.
Seems like they should be able to quickly fix this!
I too, would like to see an "Instant" Flash tree example.

P.S. The XUL menu tree has some overhead, too the rows (treecells) are
just containers that can contain anything (text, buttons, img, mp3,
swf). etc)
