Maybe creating it invisible and then setting visible to True after 
adding all your components...? Or you could buy a really fast computer 
:-)

You can "strip" the executable. This gets rid of everything that is 
linked to it but unnecessary.
And then you can internally compress it using UPX ( 
http://upx.sourceforge.net/ )
The latter saves a lot. The Helium compiler goes from 6 megabytes to 
less than one.
