In one application I have to display a splash screen while a poorly written framework (DAQmxBase from National Instruments) takes 6 to 11 seconds to initialize itself on the main thread. To do so, I display my splash screen as a non modal, top-level, centered window (use NSWindow's setLevel:NSFloatingWindowLevel to make it top-level).
Do you require your splash screen or the registration window to be modal?
