reading one byte takes x time. Reading ten million bytes takes
x,000,000 units. I said nothing about indexing through a file, knothead.
That's your own attempt to confuse with facts.

If an index marker goes through one byte, it takes x time. To index
through ten million bytes takes x,000,000 times. The actual time
required depends on the algorithm/s but in no way is ten vs a million
going to require the same number of machine cycles, straight slot.

How come you dropped the MVP you stuck after your name a few posts back?

Completely false. Having a larger registry does not affect speed.

Having to read so much as one singly byte of data takes time and if
that byte is new, it will require more cpu cycles and thus more
time. When you consider some programs can add tens of thousands of
entries to a registry, it certain can slow things down.

Haven't you EVER noticed how a virgin XP system is fast to boot and
run, but with each additional suite, etc., it boots slower and runs
a tad slower each time? Aren't you the MVP here who also says that
boot times in excess of 5 minutes are OK without having any idea
what's loaded on a system?



possibly more problematic as time progresses.


Also false.

No, actually very much possible.



So how do you take care
of registry problems? You simply use a registry cleaner which will
do all of the hard work for you. It will automatically repair any
problems and help you get rid of unnecessary data.

On the rare occasions where it boils down to an unknown registry
problem, or the registry needs to be eiminated (or not) as the
culprit, a good cleaner is a very valuable tool.




Besides being spam, that's terrible advice. Registry cleaning
programs are *all* snake oil. Cleaning of the registry isn't needed
and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and don't use any
registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and what vendors
of registry cleaning software try to convince you of, having unused
registry entries doesn't really hurt you.

At least you have it right that time. It's blatant spam and the only
correct response to it would have been to report it as such. But you
chose to drag out your ignorance and once again display it to the
world for all posterity to see. You have an engine out and cannot
sustain flight on the one that's left.


The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner
erroneously removing an entry you need is far greater than any
potential benefit it may have.

Oh, here you go, another self serving spew to another unknown URL
that may or may not be safe and almost certainly contains
misinformation since it came from you. You have no credibility as it
is; that sure won't help you.



You need to understand that having a damaged registry can
ultimately result in corruption of you entire operating system,
which can then sometimes become totally unusable. This is why you
need to make use of a good quality registry cleaner which can
perform regular system checks to make sure that any potential
problems are repaired...


Completely false, as above.

No, it's not "completely false", but it is definitely unlikely. It's
a simple "grab" for the ensuing spam and nothing more. Of no more
importance than your saying and spamming your MVP status, which is
untraceable.

I thank you once more for the opportunity to read your entertaining
fish-leavings and to expose you for the ignorant, closed minded
idiot that you are.

Spam duly reported, something you are surely too lazy to bother with.
