Slow Startup

[David Livingston]

• App is slow to start (multithreading helped)
• If user doesn't think app is starting & tries to restart, could exacerbate the problem

Possible Workarounds:

• Splash screen
• Make app run as singleton instance (Anuradha asked about this)
• Precompute the initial state, or at least picture, so it doesn't need to be calculated on startup (figure out how to package this as a jar asset - still trying to avoid any kind of installer or system changes)
• Figure out how to show the entire GUI before beginning to render the initial image
