Pacman's portal has a huge list of start-up programs that you can download. It will tell you what they are and if they are necessary or not.
http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/index.htm
My suggestion is to write down what is in your start-up file as this list is huge. It is in alphabetical order and would be easier to look up that way. Also as a note: I have a Dell 4600 and just ran a battery of test at Pcpitstop http://www.pcpitstop.com/ Which also said my cache and uncache speed was very low. As a lot of Dell computer users were. They have autofixes and a great forum. If this isnt the site you used to run your test you may want to look into it.
Good luck!

i got my results from pc pitstop . after you completed the recommendations did your uncached,cached speed come back better? most people said there was little differents after removing a lot of start-ups.am going out on limb here, but is dell gambling on consumers never reaching the compacites of their systems? because i thought i had a high end computer...untill i took that test.
