As previously stated, the slowness that I have been experiencing doesn't appear on startup, but rather after the computer has been in use for a while. Regardless, please see below for a list of my startup programs:

"jusched" (Java Update Scheduler)
"atiptaxx" (ATI video card interface)

I recently deactivated atipaxx. It is just a fancy user interface allowing you to click on a hot key and reprogram your video card. I never ever want this to happen. I set my video card the way I like it in ControlPanel and tI want it to stay that way. I don't want an accidental key press changing it.

"ashDisp" (something for Avast! Antivirus)
"qttask" (background-running program for QuickTime, I believe)
"TeaTimer" (registry-protecting portion of Spybot)
"wcescomm" (I think this might be the ActiveSync installed with my mobile phone's software)
a blank entry... I've disabled this entry, as there is no indication what it is.
I am about to do the same thing wit my blank entry.

"Adobe Gamma Loader"
"Adobe Reader Speed Launch"

My Adobe works just fine with the Gamma loader and the speedlaunch disabled.

Does anything in that list seem out of the ordinary, or possibly problematic? I don't really need the wcescomm, Adobe Gamma Loader or Adobe Reader Speed Launch, but I don't see why they would be causing any problems. Any suggestions?

I agree, I don't think they are causing your troubles. On the other hand, if you kill 'em off, then you KNOW they aren't causing any trouble. The only good program is a dead program...
