I have noticed this too.  It's really obnoxious.

Most of my polygons are on ground and power planes, which I can leave
non-displayed most of the time.  It would be nice if the layer visibility
flags were saved in the file.

Of course, it would be better still if the code ran faster.
I've been tempted to fire up a profiler and see where those
bajillion CPU cycles are used.
