That would be a very good option, IMO.

When SuperCard introduced a splash screen delay they originally went for 
10 seconds, but I suggested they try the breath-holding test:   when the 
splash screen appears simply hold your breath until it goes away.

Sure, 10 seconds isn't a long time for most folks to hold their breath, 
but doing so it makes one very aware of how much time passes.

On paper or in a meeting, 10 second sounds like a short time.  But in 
actual use it feels like a very long time.
