Mail Kit MEMessageSecurityHandler causing slow message loading?

My app's Mail Extension uses the MEMessageSecurityHandler and its decoding functions but opening various emails is noticeably slower, sometimes taking 3-5s, especially on emails with attachments. Specifically, the time it takes from selecting an email from the list to the email body/contents to show up on the right panel is slow, even showing "loading" with the spinner icon. In comparison, when I disable the Mail Extension, emails open in less than a second as expected. Curiously, the "Build Mail app extensions" WWDC sample project seems to have the exact same issue despite having minimal functionality (passes through the mime data without doing any processing on it).

Any idea?
