I've got Photoshop CS2 (which comes with Adobe Bridge), iView Media Pro 
(latest version for Windows) and Photo Mechanic.

For quickly viewing and editing Photo Mechanic is orders of magnitude 
faster than either Bridge or iView Media Pro (which is in fact much 
faster than even the latest 'improved' version of Bridge).

However, I feel obligated to point out that a number of users of iView 
Media Pro (including me) have had problems with it crashing and losing 
catalogs that have taken a long time to create.  Not everyone has this 
problem but it has happened to a statistically significant number of 
users, as you can see if you browse the support forum (see, for example, 
http://www.iview-multimedia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7527#7527 ).

I am saying this just as a caution.  I think the program is really nice; 
it has a lot of good features, including some slick web gallery templates.

However, for some folks it is unstable.
