message_list_view: Clarify imprecise performance comment.

Browse Source 
A single call to this function doesn't have a material performance
impact when tested with 20k messages while scrolling in combined feed
view; likely because only 400 messages can be in the structure at any
give time given render windows.

But calling this in a loop somewhere would be a bad idea.
