That issue was solved several patches ago (I'm the one who figured it out, and I no longer need to delete/rename it). Only do this if:
A: you check your video card whilst the game is running (with GPU-Z or similar) and discover that your card isn't clocking to full speed, or
B: you just don't want to see the intro video anymore.
Removing/renaming it will not give you ANY fps boost unless your card is underclocking, which, after the current patches should no longer be a problem.

ATI 5970 here...it still does it for me, and I still therefore have to disable the splash screen. I am very sure of this.
