Especially propreitary applications or drivers ? Any idea of the applications which potentially are running on background . Also did you run any updates ? > Is there is any way to improve my system performance. First you need to find out who the culprit is . Try system monitor and see what applications are running . Also you can try a small utility(need to install) called "iotop" which gives a list of IO processes running and the top ones come there .
Boot time also depends on the services which start during boot up , especially the network and potentially disk check which might be taking some time . Check if they are running .
