Yeah, that's true, I see what you're saying. I guess knowing the king is already in check allows for optimisations, since you have to either move the king, capture the attacker or block the line of attack, and nothing else is legal. And if you're double-checked you have to move the king, no matter what. As opposed to stalemate where you really do have to check the moves of every piece.
