Do you have network protocols that you don't use? Firewire connections that
you don't use?

What exactly does 'have to wait quite a while' mean? Thirty seconds?
Thirty minutes?

You may not realize how long programs really load since Windows 2000/Windows
XP fetches program modules that allow you to start working before the entire
program is loaded.

Likely you can set your system to hibernate and then be up in less than 20
seconds from turning on the system. Then you only need do a full boot to
clear out any errors that may accumulate.
