Windowless application - slow startup

Hi,
Maybe I'm missing something obvious but I've just completed my first
windowless application (aren't they compact ? ... 17kb) ... anyway when
launching it from a shortcut I get the busy cursor for ages (~10 secs)
before returning to the default.  The application does no intensive
initialization and I did find that by adding an invisible window plus a
process message loop resolved the slow startup ... so how do I overcome this
minor niggle ?

Andrew
