Usual notes about clearing your browser cache, depending on the OS (May not speed up booting, but once you're online...;) Cleaning cookies can help, but you have to make sure you don't delete the needed ones (like the one for 'rosity). It won't hurt anything if you do, but you may have to log in again, etc.

Most of the other stuff has been covered. XP always took a while to boot, that was supposedly 'fixed' in Win 7.
