In general there should be some results right away, with the rest of the
buffer being filled asynchronously. Unfortunately notmuch-emacs only
handles the one asynchronous query, so if there is already a long
running query, you will indeed have to wait for the whole tree/list of
headers to be read into emacs.

Hmm. I can't completely follow this. Are you talking about using Z from
notmuch-show-mode, or something else?
