The "spash screen" does NOT add to the startup time. It is put up
at the beginning of MATLAB's initialization and taken down
at the end.

It's actually used by the GUI widget set to figure out the size
of the borders on the window manager that you are using so that
the window can be positioned accurately.  X allows you to use 
a window manager of your choice and we do not know this ahead
of time.
