As far as I know, and the way I have used them, the purpose of a splash
screen is to show the user that loading is taking place. That's why you
place your call to the splash screen inside a BEGIN { } for example, so
that it loads first, then the main application is loaded. Once all the
GUI information has loaded, you close the splash screen before showing
the main application window. That's how they normally work. Hence, you
don't really need a splash screen for fast loading applications.

How are you using the splash screen?
What's the purpose of having the user click on it before continuing?
