Of course it is `slowing` things down, mentally at least, time never
goes so slow when you have nothing to look at, even if it would take
longer time in seconds to not having the black-out, people will think
it takes shorter time because they see thing happening.

BTW do we really need the blackout on the first startup, I start with
a clean desktop, but what does your startup look like??
