I just look at it as them padding their budget so they can do some really good animation when they need to (Sasuke vs. Orochimaru, Lee vs. Gaara, etc).
I found that Sasuke flashback more than unneccesary. I don't know how to describe it, but they really didn't need to reminds us of something that had just happened in that particular episode....*shrugs* I found it funny after a while, though, that he had to try to remember events 10 seconds before.
