By default, lf uses xdg-open to start external applications.
I noticed a slight delay as well and solved it by setting $OPENER to a different program.

Instead of xdg-open, you can use "handlr" or rangers "rifle"

Just include this in your .bashrc (or whichever shell config you use)
export OPENER=rifle
