Go to start - welcome centre. Click on more details then click on System performance rating. Here you can see if drivers or software or anything else are causing a problem. You might find that incompatible drivers are causing a slow boot.

Two other possibilities are the indexer is running to index the drives (especially after initial install) and the disk defragmenter is running. Both have negative impact on system performance...
