This is a known issue apparently not related to a specific macOS release. MailMate uses a lot of external scripts when generating emails (including the preview). It doesn't happen at all for some users and for others the delay can be measured in seconds. I haven't found the exact trigger to explain this difference, but optimizations are needed anyways (MailMate should do less to update the preview).

(In your case, Spotlight might be busy re-indexing after the upgrade and this could affect the execution time of the external scripts.)

The latest test release of MailMate does most of its preview-related work asynchronously and I'm also planning some changes to how MailMate handles Markdown which should help.

That's the best I can tell you for now.
