This makes me lose my shit every time I want to see a simple jpg image in Windows 10. WHY?? Even my 14 year old linux laptop can open 100+ MB images faster than W10.

Viewnior barely breaks a sweat on my (powerful by 2014 standards) machine

    %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT TIME COMMAND

That's about 804 megabytes allocated, 271 megabytes resident. Took about 2 seconds to read and render the file.

Components of the OS are 20+ years old, it seems. The image handler is one of them. Simply right clicking on it takes 12 seconds for the menu to pop up.
