Yeah, I only load what I need to be running in background: anti-virus, firewall, logitech profiler (for joystick) and backup software. None of them should be heavy on resources, but there still is significant difference between clean Win7 boot than with all those apps.
The longish boot time doesn't really matter here, since my fresh install of Windows operates flawlessy once it's up.
