Need fastest application or method to display a jpg file

What is the fastest application or method to view jpg files? I have many that I must sort through and by default they open with Quickview Plus. It takes about 4 to 5 seconds to fully paint the picture. Photoshop is also slow. I have a VERY fast workstation and a VERY fast video card. I just need to know which software to use to be able to doubleclick the filename and have it display instantly. I am certainly open to trying several suggestions. Thanks!

You didn't say the file sizes because larger files will slow it down, also

I prefer HoneyView over InfraView. It is only a viewer

Run this to install it or download it from https://www.bandisoft.com/honeyview/
@"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"
choco install honeyview 

Open in new window

That or show large thumbnails in widows explorer. The first time it will take a while while the thumbnails are created.  My picture application of choice is ACDSEE.

Hello Experts. Forgive my slow response. It was unavoidable. I have found my answer in a combination. The native file preview window and Irfanview in combination for different uses is perfect for me. Each are as fast as I could want them. Thanks to every expert that contributed to help. I appreciate you!!
