Carl Hackman from http://www.flight1.com mentioned this to me while trying to tweak the sim for Ground Enviornment Pro II. Later I looked it up and I'll never fly without it again.
In short, you run FSAutoStart and it shows you all your windows services that are running. (Print spooler, MSN, Anti virus etc) Naturally, you don't need these while flying. It lists them out and when you mouse over each one, it'll give you information (as much as available) about what that service is and what their general recommendation is. The options are "No Action" which leaves the service running while FlightSim is running, "Stop" which stops the service entirely until you reboot or "Stop and Restart" which stops the service while FlightSim is running and then restarts it once you exit out of FlightSim.
Simply put, this can save you some valuable processor cycles and memory, thus giving you better performance in Flight Sim!
