I dont know much about your initial question but have a few suggestions

   - Avoid startup services like  Apache, mysql, samba (Which most people
   use very rarely) to start at boot time.


   - Also if you are not using evolution (as many people dont use), remove
   it except evolution-data-server-common.


   - run *sudo apt-get autoremove*


   - Enlist all the softwares you dont use and remove them
   - during boot there is a key combination which shows verbose more of
   startup(I donno key combination) observe which takes more time and act upon
   that


there are some app i don't know much about

(This is as per my knol) Gnome Keyring daemon is a great tool to protect
your logins, like if you provide your login to empathy or thunderbird and so
on..., it will encrypt and protect with a single password either your login
password or some other password which you give for the first time. You can
change using "Password and encryption keys/Seahorse tool" tool.

I dont know the use of this but if you stop this service, system power
management will not work as expected
