Help Desire startup apps using too much resource ?

Ive been using my desire for around 4 months now, and begun to notice small delays/ half second lags recently that were not previously there. Such lags are mostly noticed while typing (not restricted to any particular app). Ive monitored the CPU usage over days with System Panel, and found nothing out of the ordinary ... except for the apps that are running as soon as i reboot my phone.

After a fresh reboot, under the "running" tab in my Applications, i notice apps like Photoshop Express, Footprints, Stock Music, Peep, Flickr, AK Notepad and a few more.

I DONT use flickr, footprints, Stock music player, and Peep at all (never).
Notepad and Photoshop are very seldom and i see no reason to have it running at startup.

Questions:

1. Although i know Android will kill the apps when the memory is required, will it be able to kill it fast enough while im doing something like typing and memory is required ? thus the cause for the small lags i notice while typing?

2. Even if the startup apps are not the cause for the typing lag i notice, does this necessarily mean that the more apps i install, the more apps im gonna have firing themselves up at startup, and in turn more apps fighting over resource during boot ?
 
The apps shouldn't start after a reboot unless you either use them or they're set to auto-sync. Go to settings / Accounts and Sync and see what's in there.

Try unchecking auto sync and background data, then reboot and see what happens.
 
thanks for the advice speedy. I tried disabling the auto-sync across the board and then reboot, but all the apps are still sitting in the memory under the "running" tab.

Under the Accounts and Sync menu, i only have my email syncing. The weather and Stocks accounts are disabled, and ive removed everything else from there.

Any ideas you may have are welcome.
