Do you really think so?

Consider this:

How many megabytes of memory does, say, one thousand redundant registry keys
occupy? How much RAM do you have installed? How fast is your hardware?

You accomplish nothing measurable (let alone perceptable) by eliminating
those thousand registry keys, but you risk crippling your system with a
so-called registry cleaner toy.

If you're interested in speeding up your system in a way that you can
actually notice, and you're already diligent about maintaining your
computer, buy more RAM, a faster hard disk or a faster video card.
