One explanation might be the size of your clipboard history.

I ran into this myself, I had copied 500 MB to the clipboard and that 
was a bit of a challenge for the underlying CoreData code used to update 
the clipboard history on disk, so shortly after each action that caused 
the clipboard history to be updated, there would be a beachball for 
approximately one second.

The fix is to open the history viewer (Edit → Paste → Show History) 
and then click “Clear History”.

Though I do consider this an issue that should be fixed, as the size of 
the clipboard history should not affect performance.
