Indeed experimental is quite a bit faster. But when opening a complicated PDF with Inkscape, it can take a minute or so and in that case a splash screen would really be nice.

For me, a splash screen makes sense for start times above a second or so.

Good scenario.

One alternative for this use case is to have the base UI come up quickly and then have a separate loading phase where a progress bar might be included.

However, I definitely think that we need to keep this specific workflow captured and listed along with other use cases that might pertain to app launching.
