Splash screen positioning

I got a logo splash screen working because my app sometimes takes 4 or 5 seconds to appear. The problem no is that the splash screen takes the same amount of time to appear. I guess nothing can be done about that.

The main thing to do is to get into the MainLoop as soon as possible, and then don't block it for long periods of time. In order for the splash screen to show and be painted it needs to be able to receive events. If you have a lot to do during startup then things will work most smoothly if you can do it in another thread, or slice it up an do it in a series of idle event handlers.
