Hi. Sending you a feature request.
When open a HUGE file to see whats in it, takes really long time.
(sample 1.3GB : https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/daily-index/bulkdata/submissions.zip)
So please add a loading progress screen do prevent unnecessory open retrials since do not know whats even going on with nothing shown.
Have a good day.

    Are you sure that you opened it with 7-Zip?
    Maybe you open it with another program?

    What exact number of seconds to open archive ?
    Close archive and then open it second time.
    What exact number of seconds was required for that second open operation?

    That is hard to explain.
    When select a context menu 'Open compresssd' then (if lucky) you can see very very short time of splash loading screen that disappers. Then takes time that few minutes scale with nothing.
    In case winrar, loading also takes long time after counting files.
    You should try yourself. So need to improve.

    Open compressed is not 7-Zip command.
    7-Zip menu command is
    7-Zip/Open archive in Windows 10, or Show more Options/7-Zip/Open archive in Windows 11.

    For fastest list file processing, you should to use default View/Details view mode (in 7-Zip File manager menu), when zip archive is open.
    Another modes (Large icons/ Small icons / List) can be slow for big number of files.
    You can open 7-Zip File Manager and switch to View/Details mode. Then 7-Zip will use that mode for another archives too.
