macbook air slow at startup

relatively new to the mac world. i've noticed in the last few weeks that my MBA is kind of slow at startup whereas it used to be VERY fast. once some process finishes, it seems fine. if i were on PC i would look at "task manager" to see what's running and diagnose from there. is there something similar in mac/osX?

Airport Time Capsule 802.11ac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Yes. OS X has built in Activity Monitor.
