Launch immediate after a Cold boot ?
or First use after a Cold boot has settled out ?
Lots of other stuff typically happens right on the tail of a cold boot:
A/V updates and optional Scans afterwards
M$ update checks / post update Malicious scans
Adobe (family of stuff) update checks
Java Update stuff
Indexing (if enabled)

Get and run Pagefile defrag from Sysinternals (My standard boot runs it every time on XP). This also defrags the registrey files
