the load event of the form?

any other suggestions to improve the form load are most welcome!

A splash screen is typically used to display something to a user while the
main application (such as a Windows Form) is loading data that takes some
time to load. It is not typically the Form itself that takes a long time to
load, but some data that it interacts with.
