Does it have to be an interactive screen? An issue with delayed initialisation is _when_ you get to initialise them - initialisation is an expensive operation and your GUI will be clunky or frozen while initialisation takes place (EG on a timer). Also, some browsers do not update the screen fast enough so you can find that the screen remains blank until all the initialisation is done.
If the screen can be non-interactive (i.e. you just want a "loading please wait..") you could put up an image with absolute positioning (I use an animated GIF) and the form just appears on top of it when it's finished loading.
