You're not actualy syspreping your base image are you? It should just be joined to the domain and on DHCP, not syspreped (for linked clones at least, which is all I use). The quickprep that View does I don't believe is a full enough sysprep that would necessarily actually pick up the sysprep.inf entry specified in the Microsoft article.
Presumably the user's don't have existing roaming profiles or local profiles in a user data disk?
If you search for "wallpaper" in the Vista SP1 group policy settings spreadsheet, you will find the setting "fNoRemoteDesktopWallpaper" which is what you will need to set, in GPOs, in order to disable desktop wallpapers.
I would set the page file in your base image.
Things like "adjust for best performance" which aren't available via GPO are best done, as Andre said, either in the default user profile, although you run the risk of a user overriding it depending on what control panel and registry access you give them, or have a logon script or other solution put it into the registry early at logon. You could also try writing a custom adm (just copy an existing adm snippet and change as required).
The key, with subkeys, you want to look at for this specific setting is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects
