It depends upon the distro and what services you are starting.
You can reduce (or eliminate if only 1 OS) the time that lilo/grub waits
for input duing boot.
If hardware is fixed, you can disable any service like kudzu that detects
new hardware during boot (just do not disable pcmcia/hotplug related
things if using that or usb).
You can disable other daemons not being used.
Boot to runlevel 3 (console) instead of 5 (X).
