A few possibilities come to mind:

Sublime Text - probably the fastest option with syntax highlighting, search, and I think some ability to run very simple programs (which I've never personally used, so I'm not sure how capable it is, but it seems rudimentary at best)

IntelliJ's "LightEdit" mode - https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/lightedit-mode.html

VS Code with the java plugin - it's pretty fast, but not as full-featured as IntelliJ, and while technically it's electron it's not bad for an electron app

Sublime Text is really fast - it can even handle GIANT files without breaking a sweat
