CFO and I were in a debate today about what causes a computer to lag and take forever to load upon logging in from a fresh startup.

A computer with a basic i3 processor and 4gb of ram. It's slow to log into the user account and become functional because of 20 programs contributed to the startup list. Is this due from the processor being limited in how much it can handle, or the amount of ram being allocated to handle these auto started resources??
My personal testing showed the CPU and disk percentages being higher than ram. I'm curious though. Would a high GB user profile contribute to a slower computer startup? Or is it strictly related to the startup programs?
