Start your Task Manager (ctrl-alt-del), then look at the processes tab to see where it is all deployed -- some things are necessary, but much is not needed (iTunesHelper, etc). All of those little system tray apps and other startup junk add up. You can run msconfig and check the services and startup tab for things to turn off.
