the last version irfanview 64bit is really amazing fast i like xnview but in some case it's very slow , for explame with color management enabled , irfanview is really fast
xnview is OK-ish. i find it a bit cluttered. i prefer irfanview, having used it from it's beginnings.
As a viewer (I don't know and don't care about other abilities) it's not configurable or versatile enough. XnView is a superior product. FastStone is still my favourite viewer, the zoom tool and the hidden menus in full screen mode have no equivalent. Unfortunately I had an issue with its installer but that's another story.
