Delay between app loading and ion-view displaying

Basically, the issue is on the initial load of the app, between the splash screen loading and the welcome(landing) page showing. I am using the latest version of Ionic (1.0).

Here’s a gif of me saving a file and the app reloading: http://www.gfycat.com/TatteredFluidIraniangroundjay

The welcome page is an ion-view with an ion-slide-box (code below).

It seems that the ion-nav-view is loading and displaying before the ion-view is loaded, which causing the white page and the nav-bar to show up.

One thing that I did try is to leave the splash screen and manually hide it once the ion-view had entered focus, using the $ionicView.afterEnter event, although that didn’t seem to fix it.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what I am doing wrong or any possible thoughts on what I could try?
