I guess that Soluto is a lost cause for me, because I did just reinstall it, and it is exactly the same as before. During the uninstall, the firewall popped the same dialog, saying that it had blocked Soluto from userinit, as it had after previous attempts to use it. Maybe it's just not compatible with my firewall, but if so, I don't think that I'm compatible with it. There is still no hide nor hair of Soluto since rebooting, and with the indications that I've gotten from the Event Viewer, I doubt that it would pinpoint a cause for the problem anyway. (Oops!, the firewall finally popped it's blocked dialog on Soluto again).
Since boot time has always been slow since I installed W7, and never improved even when restoring from a True Image recovery, it doesn't seem as though there is any easy solution.
