What about adding a low-resolution splash image that is then replaced with the high-resolution image once rendered? c.f. progressive JPEG.

The "Help->About Inkscape" splash can be slow to render and has given some users the impression that Inkscape is therefore slow.
One option is to replace the splash rendering with a static image in release builds.
A downside of this is maintaining and adding a ~200Kb image to the package. But at some stage Inkscape may get a startup splash anyway ...
Any interest in adding a static splash image ?
You should check to see if the image is hooked into our cache mechanism.
