1.4.5 and up: Sorting by EXIF data (Model) is really slow and most of the time fails

I am using sorting by Model quite frequently and I can instantly tell when the sorting goes wrong.
On XnView MP 1.4.5 and 1.5.0, the sorting is even slow on SSD and significantly using up CPU resources. Most of the time the sorting will stop on its own and the the list will not be sorted, leaving a column like this:
And after a long while, the bar is only running at 5%:
The issue is not observed on 1.4.4 and lower versions, and 1.4.4 can finish sorting by Model (with large HEIC files (20MB~1.7MB, 2600 or so files of this kind) within a minute or so.

I created another folder that contained only .jpg-, .mov-, and .png-only files (3,632 files in total; 3,162 JPGs with Model data) and run them on 1.4.4 and 1.5.0, and I am seeing the folder gets sorted in a much faster speed. Within a second.
I wonder if there's anything wrong with the HEIF/HEIC library on versions 1.4.5 and 1.5.0?

Strange. you use 'Sort by name', open the folder with heic files. all is ok. You sort by 'exif date' and you have the delay, right?
The scan of files is finished, on you screenshot i see the progress bar?

I wouldn't know that because I enter XnView by clicking an image in the folder and double click it to show the file list view and the default sorting method is by Model (Ascending).
I am showing the progress bar to try to show the speed that different versions are sorting the files by Model.
With a folder that only has HEIC files, the sorting on 1.5.0 is so slow to the extent that it almost processes one file at a time, as the progress bar is 0% for 10 seconds and the Model is showing one line after another.
I guess what I am saying is that no matter if you sort by name or Model or EXIF date, as long as 1.4.5 or 1.5.0 reads EXIF data from HEIF/HEIC files which you specified in the columns, the speed will drastically decrease.

it seems that the sorting is not the problem... Do you use Catalog or Settings>Filelist>Scan header?
Once all file header are readed, sort by EXIF or other is without delay...

Scan file headers are set to always, I turned off Scan header and Catalog and updated to 1.5.0 just now to see if it's fixed but... If the scan headers are set to never, the viewer will not even load or show Info/Model/EXIF Date Taken... Thus the sorting with Model/EXIF Date Taken will never complete.
I have attached a couple of videos, respectively, to show you how slow this is on 1.5.0 comparing to 1.4.4: (With Catalog on, Scan Header set to Always, the only difference I can think of is the installed version.)

Please send me some heic sample files & your xnview.ini?

This is highly unexpected but... 1.5.1 crashed when I was trying to open an HEIC file... I noticed three crash dumps located in AppData/Local/CrashDumps and zipped it for your reference, it they help at all.

Each time that you try to load an heic file, you have the crash?? with 1.5.1 x64bits?

Yep, that’s the version and arch (installer). Tried around five HEIC files and gave up (Ｔ▽Ｔ)
