I know Eligius doesn't have a lengthly setup process, you just use your payout address as the username.
Which other pools are this easy to start with?
Which mining pools do not require account creation?

You can try http://p2pool.info/
And P2Pool.info does not keep fees, they redistribute it ;)
In general you don't have to subscribe to P2P Pool (just search for "p2p bitcoin pool").

Ok, I'm going to iterate over this list. Although I think it is not very clear what "account creation" would imply, I list the ones that just want your Bitcoin address.
Ones I found that do not require account creation:

- Eligius
- Horrible Horrendous Terrible Tremendous Mining Pool
- P2Pool
- BitParking (requires you to create a UserId, but no password or whatever so basically you can just enter randomness and a Bitcoin address)
And ones that do:

50BTC, but I'm pretty sure they take some fees, while Eligius is takes transaction fees instead.

Indeed, according to https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool#Joining_the_pool you have to launch p2pool binary and just use your common miner software on 127.0.0.1:9332
