My Macbook has been a bit slow on startup lately so I decided to remove some of the programs that it is set to open upon login. Some apps, such as Things and Awaken, among others, have separate entries, called "helpers", e.g. Things Helper, Evernote Helper, etc.
What exactly is the deal with these guys? How are they helping, and can I get rid of them from the login items list without getting rid of the app which they're helping?
