The idea being that if a system boots within 5 seconds, we would avoid the transition from a black screen to plymouth, instead directly going to e.g. gdm. In practive most modern systems (with SSD) take about 4-7 seconds to boot, this causes plymouth to only show briefly (aprox. 1 second). IOW on some modern systems it quicky flashes by, this "flash" is the end result of the ShowDelay=5 default which is intended to *reduce* the number of jarring / flickering visual transitions. On older systems the boot will likely take significantly longer then the 5 seconds, so we will show the splash anyways and we might as well show it right away, so that the user can see something is happening right away. Note this has been discussed in more detail in issue #64, which also contains an alternative much more involved fix for the issues surrounding SplashDelay, but simply defaulting it to 0 seems to be best.
