In MSCONFIG you can disable anything other than Nvidia or ati or anything graphics graphics related.Leave anything by microsoft and any anti virus software.
If you are not sure what they are just google them.
Anything else you need will load when you want to use it.

One thing that made a big difference for me was the power option,in control panel.
Change it from balanced to high performance.
