(a) What is "slow"?  My Windows 7 machine is fully running in about 3 minutes (that is ready to use).
(b) Best to let Windows manage its own memory. Generally we cannot do better.
(c) Why no page file?  I would put the page file back.

agree that computer should start right up... i7 with 16 GB of ram and 64 bit OS... Possible you have a faulty Hard Drive or a bad stick of RAM.

Look at task manager and see what you got going on. How much physical memory is being used after fresh boot? How much of the page file are you using? If you are only using a small percent then start troubleshooting hardware. If you are using a large percent of your physical memory start eliminating startup programs. Or you may have a virus and or malware on your computer.

For Sure the Best for the Virtual Memory is to use as "System Managed"
