It seems to me that unless your sailcloth is made from a material that cannot
stretch at all, your mizzen will indeed have a 'belly' whenever it is set in
a wind ... the more wind, the more 'belly'.
When 'on the wind', I've found that a mizzen doesn't usually assist in
driving to windward so much as it assists in controlling the drive of the main, and
keeping the back of the boat OFF the wind - and the bow to windward.

stretch at all, your mizzen will indeed have a 'belly' whenever it is set in
a wind ... the more wind, the more 'belly'.
When 'on the wind', I've found that a mizzen doesn't usually assist in
driving to windward so much as it assists in controlling the drive of the main, and
keeping the back of the boat OFF the wind - and the bow to windward.
