Yes shutting off unnecessary services or startup items
does reduce bootime and performance.
It would be wise if you disable items in Admin
tools>services if you write down what you did, just
incase things stop working that you want,and check the
dependencies tab.
 
Do NOT disable Services using msconfig!!!
Use Start | Run |Type: services.msc | OK
From Black Viper:
[Why can't I use msconfig to change my services?
The reason is because with msconfig and Hardware Profiles, you can
disable services that may be vital to boot your system. With the management
console (services.msc) you cannot. Also, msconfig, while unchecking the box,
is disabling the service.
The "Disable All" button also scares me. It should not even be there as no
reason exists to justify disabling "everything."]
