 Replying to [comment:2 cypherpunks3]:
 > Arthur did you forget about "early first blank paint" bugzilla ticket
 that you did comment on? :)

 > IMO that's like the best way to solve this issue, drawing a blank white
 window right after the Torlauncher window closes is the perfect way to
 cope with perceived slowness, since it's cheaper to paint and will solve
 the issues that are pointed out above.

 I don't think users will necessarily understand what a blank window means.

 Without looking at the code or testing further, my guess is a big part of
 the perceived slowness is due to real slowness, which is that we delay
 starting to build the browser window until after the launch process is
 finished.
