You mean loading the image and relocating pointers is no excuse? Running
the startup code, redrawing the screen? No excuses either? Even a basic
image takes about a second to start (the delay between launching it and
seeing something is noticeable); if you actually do anything when you
start the image or if you simply have larger images it easily takes longer.

And which part of "optional" splash screen is so hard to understand?
Remove splash.bmp and it's gone.
