Yes, in fact, u-vm-color warns you that doing this will slow things down.

Unfortunately, VM's message displaying code is very complicated with the
control going back and forth between vm-decode-mime-message,
vm-present-current-message and vm-show-current-message.  The way things
stand, it is probably not possible to write u-vm-color properly.  Those
advices should not be necessary in an ideal world.

I will have to find time to straighten this out at some point...
