The fastest camping cookers, from the point of view of time between deciding to put the kettle on, and having a full flame ready for the kettle, are certainly gas cookers.
Open gas supply, apply a lit match, pop! full flame.
This does not however mean that they are the fastest boilers.
There are many liquid fuelled camping stoves that have much faster boil times for a given quantity. As mentioned, the Coleman double burner (main burner at least); my old Optimus #45 or #111 paraffin stove would put even a Coleman to shame however.
The problem with liquid fuelled stoves though is the time needed to prime the burner. This can be anything up to 3-4 minutes, depending on the burner size. Personally, I'm not too bothered by this prime time, as it allows me to prepare other stuff, and any way, I'm on me holidays, camping under canvas, where's the hurry?
6 of one and half dozen of another!
Obviously, for cooking a full meal, a Trangia is going to be very slow going, but for a quick brew, it can be quicker than many, more powerful liquid fuelled stoves. Good lighting technique is important however.
Either way, a decent wind shield will improve the performance of any camping stove.
p.s. Trouble finding Coleman fuel? Have a look for Aspen 4T, a cleaner fuel than even Coleman and much, much cleaner than unleaded.
