Web usability research from guys like Jacob Nielsen has shown time and again that first time visitors decide whether to stay on your site or look elsewhere in the first 20 seconds or so.

Given that incredibly short time span, can you really risk wasting your visitor's precious time with a splash page?

The correct answer to the above question is obviously a loud and resounding 'No!'
