From my experience MSE is slow to start on machines with slower CPU's and
not enough RAM.
Max out your RAM on your Laptop.
If it is at max already then there is little you can do.

Thanks for all the input to my post.

I have installed it on my wifes laptop and yes I noticed that as the OS
is booting I get a momentary information balloon telling me that the
computer is unprotected and then MSE loads and all is well

Is there any way to get MSE to load first???

Also I noticed that "Automatic updates" is automatically turned on
during the MSE installation. I usually do my updates manually mainly so
that I know what is going on.

Am I correct in assuming that MSE requires "Automatic Updates" turned on
all the time so that it can update its signatures as required, or does
it do this another way
