This isn't about starting at boot, per se, but rather when X starts.
Add this to your .xinitrc for the artwiz fonts:
| Code Sample | | xset +fp /opt/fonts/artwiz-aleczpka & |
Yes, do similarly with xscreensaver (which only works when running X):
| Code Sample | | xscreensaver & |
You can also append various options before the ampersand (which you need to add before commands or else X will hang at that spot). Look up the xscreensaver man page.
You can add commands to your .jwmrc to start apps. I don't know how you're fixed on RAM, but that's probably going to be a bigger issue than CPU speed if you get gung ho with opening all this stuff when you startx. These things -- xscreensaver, abiword, and firefox in particular -- use LOTS of RAM when running by themselves. Running them all simultaneously when you start will *not* speed things up but slow everything down. Significantly. Depending how much RAM (+swap) you have, perhaps it will slow things down very drastically. Your choice, but mine wouldn't be to start so much that I end up swapping in my first few minutes (or even hours) of uptime without a good reason.
You can find all the jwmrc variables on this page (start up commands is in the "other settings" section):
