Tips for autostart - startup time

[TerryJ]

I had a desktop file in Autostart for Bittorrent because I was providing 
seeding. 

I found that the application was very slow to start and was prolonging 
startup time, so I removed it.  Are there any tweaks to avoid that 
consequence?  I'm downloading at present and would like to autostart 
Bittorrent again when downloading is complete so that I don't forget to 
reciprocate seeding.

One point that occurs to me.  Is there some way of setting a start-up 
sequence for applications which launch at startup so they are not all 
trying to grab resources at the same time?  Three of the applications I 
have starting at log in are not in Autostart but are left open when I 
shut down.  Would it be better to use autostart files, in which case, is 
there such a thing as an autoclose function? :-\
