Computer Is Slow on First Loading, Even CPU and PF Usage is Minimum

I found that my computer is slow during bootup time and when I first open any application, even though the CPU and PF usage is minimum all the time. I have AVG free edition, and VM Workstation installed.

"use BootVis to track down the culprit(s). it's a performance trace visualization utility which will monitor the boot process and show in graphs the time it takes to load each driver and program.

then use Autouns (Systinternals' startup manager) to disable unwanted/unnecessary programs.

Startup Delayer is another option to tweak the boot process even further (for those who do need a lot of programs to start with the system):

If each program tries to do this at
the same time, you soon notice the
slow down that occurs, due to your CPU
trying to help all the programs to
load, and your hard disk accessing
multiple files.

Startup Delayer allows you to setup
how many seconds after Windows has
started, to load each program."
