The older versions are linked on the Skim home page. But I strongly doubt it will make any difference, as there is no fundamental change in the display for a very long time. As you see the same problem in Preview this sounds like due to PDFKit. A difference may be in the rendering of the thumbnails, try seeing if hiding them changes this. Though also that has not changed in a long time, and it does render them lazily. To see where Skim spends it time you can try taking a sample using Activity Monitor.
