Maybe its time you cleaned it up and ran some scans.
Scan for spyware and viruses.
Reduce the number of items on your startup list.
Uninstall all unwanted programs and remove junk from the drive.
Use CCleaner or DiskCleanup to clear out the temporary files, internet cache, recycle bin etc.
If you HDD is overloaded and cluttered with fragments, everything including startup will slow down. Fragmentation especially when its been ignored for a long time, causes performance deterioration by increasing file access time and drive activity. There are good automatic defragmenters like Diskeeper which you can set to run in the background as you go about using the PC. Its also said to defrag even if you have less than 15% free space.

Well, it would help if I knew how fast your computer is (2.?? gigahertz, etc), but I can offer a suggestion or two anyway. Click on the pearl or start button and find Disk Defragmenter. In Microsoft Windows Vista it's under Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter. Run this and your computer should speed up. It takes all of the bits and pieces of the programs on your computer, which with use sort of…explode apart, and brings them back together.
Now if you are talking about hardware, you could buy a 7200 RPM hard drive or add more memory (RAM) to your computer.
