Why is my vista64 so slow in booting up?

Hello, I have a vista ultimate 64 installed on my workstation. HW is a

ECC 3x500Gb Maxtor Sata HDD in raid 5 (using internal nforce controller
Palit PCI-E 8800GTX 795Mb RAM DVD/Ups/and so on Now, I've enable fe
tweaks including but not limited to: - use 4 processors at boot time (o
shall I say cores instead) - specify manually the amount of L2 cach
installed - removed unwanted program/services. Now, a full reboot o
the system takes over 1000 seconds. This seems extremely slow to me, i
there any way to know what exactly is using all this time? Thanks an
