I've also seen some HTML messages take a long time (10s of seconds) to render. 
This seems to be font related.

I do _not_ have a setting for *mime_alternative_prefs, so I do view the 
messages as html.

In my case, I know that's not the problem. I've got my httpProxy set to local 
host, as in:
	~/.exmh/exmh-defaults: 	*httpProxy:     127.0.0.1
this prevents exmh from contacting external sites to view mail messages--it's 
great for reading mail off line, and it avoids the "web bugs" (typically 1x1 
pixel glear GIFs with a unique URL that's encoded to your mail address) used by 
spammers to track receipt of their junk mail.

You might want to give this a try.
