As for sytem restore, you could try removing it or at least reduce the size to about 500 mbs.
To find out what is loading, I can think of two choices.
1- Start/Run/ and type msconfig to see what is loading.
2- my choice is a program called StartUpCPL by Mike Lin-
you can find it here - you will see the tabs for HKML etc.
You can uncheck what you want to stop loading - then recheck it to have it load.

You might also want to STOP the Indexing Service unless you really need it.
N.B. You didn't mention whether you tried to uninstall Norton's GOBACK or anything else like SystemRestore that allows you to reverse changes. The reason for that is that everytime you try to delete something a record must be made somewhere and the file "hidden" from view, all of which takes resources and time.
