That many calls is really excessive for a model containing only 43
items.  Tree view calls the iter_next() and iter_children() methods
when redrawing the view.  So, it might be the case that tree view is
doing many unnecessary redraws, leading to the unnecessary walks of
the model.

Or maybe you are using GtkTreeModelSort and are seeing many
unnecessary sorting operations?
