I disabled the splash screen by control-clicking on the OmniWeb application and choosing "Show Package Contents" then going to Contents then Resources. There I control-clicked on Splash.nib and chose "Compress Splash.nib" (to archive it in case something bad happens) then deleted Splash.nib.

(It also seems to load faster too -- or that could just be in my head.)

As frankiec said, you can delete Splash.nib and Splash.png (or is it tif? Don't have OW installed at the moment) and everything continues to work fine. I've been doing this for a *very* long time. OW will throw a one-line error message in your system log as a result - which doesn't matter.
