I get long loading times when opening pictures by double-clicking on them (6sec for 4MB jpg, 5sec for 124KB jpg, 6sec for 4.55KB png). Dragging-and-dropping the files into an already opened IrfanView window opens the files instantly. Also, going to the next picture in the same folder is instant. The delay only occurs with closed IrfanView. Opening IrfanView from startmenu without a picture takes way less than a second. Loading time is the same even when the folder only contains one image. Loading time in irfanview for the png shows 0 milliseconds...
Windows 10 1909
IrfanView 4.54 64-bit with plugins
Issue also present in 4.53 and 4.51 (without plugins). Something must have changed other than the IrfanView version, I am sure the loading times were not so high before updating to 4.54
Edit: 16GB RAM, more than 8GB available. Color management disabled. Other image viewers open instantly, so it probably is no hard drive issue
