Are you using the default PPG layout or are you using "Tab style editor" as
available in the user preferences?
My **guess** is that XSI is spending so much time updating your PPG's that it
doesn't get around to the animation (backwards if you ask me). If you're using
the default layout for PPG's it means all the parameters and pages are listed
vertically in one very long page. That means every parameter of every tab of
the render option PPG is being updated with each refresh. If you change over to
"Tab style editor" from your user preferences, then each tab is shown on it's
own page like a book and only the displayed tab will be updated which will allow
more time to be spent on updating the animation your scene. Your scene may
still scrub slowly, but perhaps not as much. You'll have to restart XSI before
the "tab style editor" option takes effect....if you use it.

Subject : peculiar scrubbing?
i have a scene that plays back at about 1 frame every 3 seconds if i have the
render panel open (i can see the name of the pass flickering as though its being
repeatedly updated )
if i switch back to the modeling window i get reasonable frame rates again
instantly...........
I have a reasonable number of passes and a mildly heavy fx tree......
any idea what is being calculated?
I initially thought it was my fxtree being calculated (even when neither the fx
viewer, or fx tree windows werent open)
mildly confused
