If you drag and drop the image onto the VM, startup is instant. It's only when you double-click Squeak.exe that it can take some time (due to some oddities in Windows).

Subject: Startup Splash screen

Win32 Squeak needs a startup splash screen as it can take a while to startup, and displays no activity other than the harddisk LED.

A splash screen would be nice for inexprienced an experienced users alike so you know that Squeak is starting and donot click on the exec twice or more.
