Description Henning 2023-08-28 23:38:16 UTC 
The current implementation of the KDE Splash screen does not have any performance benefit, but slows down the launch as until its gone plasma doesnt start loading, as do the autostart apps.

The fix: Convert it into an overlay that displays over the screen immediately. This would help with laggy loading of the Panel and startup apps.
