I think we should kill the splash as a separate window and instead work on 
getting the full window up ASAP, and then potentially display a spinner or 
similar in there.

Kevin, remember that you are using an SSD - without it, startup is still much 
slower... We do load tons of libs/plugins after all.

Also, do drop your caches between the restarts to measure the startup time.
