Not true at all.
Right, not true. And to be even more specific, he makes two
statements, both of which are completely false:
No, you're wrong.
1. "When more and more softwares [sic] are installed, the
performance of computer becomes poorer." That's completely false.
*[sic]* ??
Nope, not completely false. It may often not be NOTICEABLE but
anything that adds cpu cycles takes time. Some programs write
thousands of registry entries upon install. Witness the drop in
responsiveness that occurs when you one rebuids a computer and adds
say Microsoft Office to it. THERE is a noticeable slowdown in
several differing ways, one of which is registry related big time.
2. "To boost computer performance,periodic cleaning of registry is
required so that the unwanted entries can be removed." And that is
also completely false.
Nope, not completely false at all. Badly stated perhaps, but it's
simply the reverse of the above. It's wrong IMO in that it's not
"required" to remove unwanted entries. But anything occurring which
lowers the number of cpu cycles will result in faster response. There
are those that like to point out that a program goes
"directly" to the registry point it needs, but they neglect that
fact that in order to do that, there is a lookup to find the address
where that part of the registry lives, so ... "unwanted" entries are
still part of the lookup process and must be handled. Removing it
means it's not there to loop over, thus fewer cpu cycles, and thus
less time consumed. Removing something lke MSOffice definitely
results in a vry notiecable speed up, and then cleaning the
leftovers from it often results in another, much smaller but still
noticeable, increase in speed. The real problem is that registry
problems are much more than simply unwanted entries; it's a much
broader subject area.

Hi,
When more and more softwares are installed, the performance of
computer becomes poorer. To boost computer performance,periodic
cleaning of registry is required so that the unwanted entries can
be removed.. You can perform process of registry cleaning either
manually or by using any effective registry cleaner software..
Make sure that you have sound technical knowledge about registry
before trying it manually. For non technical users, registry
repair softwares are recommended...
