This must be machine dependent for sure - I see no difference in FPS while the 
additional tiles load, compared to 'normal' FPS.

Probably depends on many factors, especially OS threading - and my machine is 
CPU-strong and GPU-weak, compared to many, I think.

We can of course make this a config option to keep the splash screen up - but 
to me the new behaviour is exactly what every other FlightSim has always done - 
and I've expected the some erratic frame-rates for the first 10-20 seconds 
after loading. It's more the compensated before, by being able to start setting 
cockpit switches, lights, powering up systems, while the scenery loads.
