yeah, most of this already makes sense to me, except i do disagree with a couple:

1: clearing the prefetch folder does shorten boot time (more specifically deleting the NTOSBOOT.......pf file does on my machine) but you end up with a longer logon time because your programs load at logon, not during boot. So it takes the same time, possibly longer.

2: I would have thought disabling pointless services when ur pc is limited to a small amount of ram would help your pc from paging more stuff everytime you run an app that needs a lot of memory.
