I'll leave others to question why the performance is better but you can partly achieve this with a scheduled task in that you can mark them to run when the machine starts. This doesn't give you the restart aftercrash though. You could create a batch file that you run that starts slimserver.pl and then loops back to the start if slimserver stops e.g.
:Start perl slimserver.pl goto :Start Alternatively, Microsoft used to have a resource tool call srvany that could run any program as service but I'm not sure where you would get it from.
