Just get the UI up as quickly as possible. Also, supporting "multitasking" on iOS 4 helps with getting the UI up quickly when brought into the foreground.

I don't believe the launch image is something you can just forgo.

You can skip the Default.png file. The experience without it can be terrible, though. Your app will just show a black, blank screen until it finishes booting.

It's a bad enough experience that it's not even worth considering.
