I'll offer a contrary opinion. ;)
I'm less worried about the time that the event adds to startup, more
worried about the event getting in the way when trying to dogfood the
calendar. I found it to be a pain to delete the event every time --
somehow the "welcome note" felt less obtrusive.
Of course, I'm not a new user with fresh eyes, but I'm not sure that I
buy that the welcome note actually helps the user understand Chandler.
Cheers,
Katie

I think it is useful for a new user to see an already crafted item in
the initial view. It gives a focus and meaning to the context and
allows very simple discovery of significant parts of the UI (detail
view particulars of an event) that otherwise might take some futzing
around and some frustration before the user would see the same
richness of information.
It might save 3 sec. on initial startup, but might save several
minutes of the user's time jump-starting their understanding of
Chandler calendar functions. I vote to keep the initial event, even if
it slows things down on 1st start.
