startup

My Windows 7 use to boot up fast and now its getting rather slow. I suspect one program is eating up all the time yet i cant tell what it is since task manager shows <40% of the cpu being used.

What can i use to track how long each process takes when my computer boots/starts up?

Note: Except for launchy which i used before my comp became slow, all my startup and services are all signed and known (broadcom, VMWare, Google Inc, Intel, etc)

Note2: I am mostly considering the time it takes after i login but i suspect the time before that is slightly slower (i dont think very much though)
