Neither lentils, split peas, nor cowpeas need pre-soaking.
Just about all other beans benefit from it. Or you can use the so-called "quick cook" method, which consists of bringing them up to boil, then letting them sit for at least two hours. Change the water when ready to cook, and proceed as usual.
