True.


Registry cleaners often claim to speed up your machine by
removing such entries. The claim is false: There is no difference
in speed before and after.


False. I see a marked improvement in performance and boot up time,
especially when using CCleaner and SystemSuite5 after a clean install of
XP and Office.

Let's have some details:
- What exactly did you measure, i.e. what was your benchmark test?
- How did you measure it? Did it "feel" faster? Did you use a stopwatch?
- What was the improvement?
- Was this a once of test or were you able to see a consistent improvement
on many different machines?

Unless you supply full details it won't be possible for other
readers to duplicate your tests and confirm your results.
