That sounds very much like the problem, like `turn-on-mime-edit' is
getting called repeatedly in the same buffer.  Try adding

(message "turn-on-mime-edit(buffer=%s,pslen=%s)"
         (current-buffer) (length paragraph-start))

to that function (evaluating the `defun' after that library has been
loaded, of course).  Then you can test this hypothesis.  If it is being
called repeatedly, either there is a bug elsewhere that calls it when it's
not necessary, or that function should be modified to only modify
paragraph-start if it has not done so already (perhaps by setting a flag
or consulting the existing value).
