Fixing another issue caused the Userenv Event 1517 warning to stop
occurring (though it did not reduce the start-up time).

Specifically, when I would click on the Advanced tab in my Local Area
Connection properties I would see the following message:

"Windows cannot display the properties of this connection. The Windows
Management Instrumentation (WMI) information might be corrupted. To
correct this, use System Restore to restore Windows to an earlier time
(called a restore point). System Restore is located in the System Tools
folder in Accessories."

I stopped the WMI service, deleted the contents of the
%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository
folder and rebooted. Windows restored the contents of the repository
folder, the WMI problem was corrected and the Event 1517 warnings
stopped. I suppose the Event 1517 was the result of the corrupted WMI
information causing a delay in stopping the WMI service during
shutdown. That's an uneducated guess.
