ACDSee is decent, but is a real resource hog and loads things fairly slowly, at least in the newer versions. It does have some nice sort/rename/edit options, though. As a bonus, it can read images in most zip/rar files without having to unpack them.
IRfanview is a nice, compact program that can be ported around and runs basically anything. However, it does choke up on large image directories (2k+ is where I've had problems, YMMV).
XnView is a good middleman that I used for a long time; it is faster than ACDSee, but allows you to open multiple tabs within a window to browse different directories. Like IRFanview, it is fairly small and can easily be ported around to different systems.
However, I had difficulties with all of the above because they cannot handle unicode filenames, hence anything in Japanese characters nescessitated a often-arduous manual renaming process. I was eventually pointed in the direction of Hamana, a nifty little Jap-created image viewer. Its interface is a little wonky compared to the others, but it has some nice features (quick skip through images in a directory and previewing, massively customizable interface keys, double-page viewing, reads zip/rar files), so I've switched over to it. I've never had it choke up on a folder, even with 8k+ images, although for larger ones it does take a couple seconds to load. I'd reccommend it to any weeaboo looking for a good fap browser.
(I've tried CDisplay but never found it particularly impressive; decent, but didn't fit my needs.)
