Is this due from the processor being limited in how much it can handle, or the amount of ram being allocated to handle these auto started resources??
My personal testing showed the CPU and disk percentages being higher than ram. I'm curious though. Would a high GB user profile contribute to a slower computer startup? Or is it strictly related to the startup programs?

I'm going to guess the slower start up is due to the programs in the startup sequence. From a logic stand point, it seems that the less the processor/ram/L2 cache has to deal with upon turn on, the faster it should reach the desktop. Most places don't seem to care about how long a computer takes to become operational from a cold start, only in how well it processes the daily tasks. My work computer boots way slower than my home PC, I just turn it on and while it boots to desktop, I go get coffee. By the time I get back, it's ready. Now the fact that it is slower than molasses in January and locks up at the drop of a hat, is a whole different issue... 
and it's a Mac...
