I don't know if it's necessary to check, just to optimise, there's no reason 
_not_ to. I would expect that some reasonable optimisation would gain us a 
(small) performance boost, at the same time as not pushing nearly so much data 
through the MIDI bus.

It's more that it makes debugging easier, and too much data too fast may upset 
some weaker firmwares and drivers (we were having this exact problem with the 
Herc drivers, until the devs fixed it - the excess data would cause something 
to think that a reset was occurring, and a whole lot of spurious events were 
triggered, making mixxx go a bit crazy).
