#12 can be of particular help.
Note: be sure not to disable anything important.
Many shorten the boot time and generally speed the computer by
disabling essential items usually leaving the computer vulnerable.
Do NOT sacrifice security for boot speed.

What is your definition of a long time? My system boots to the desktop in
about 50 seconds. It would take a little less time, but I have some stuff
that starts at bootup. Unless your machine is taking more than a minute or
two to boot, I wouldn't mess with it.
