Any advantages found after using a registry cleaner would be the same found, if you just deleted the OFFENDING 2-3 keys that might be causing you trouble. And I've found those keys come from trojans, virus, kiddie scripts, yahoo toolbars, down loaders, and other stuff that don't want you to know they're there. In those cases it's not a registry cleaner you need but a specialized tool that hunts for those things like 'hijackthis', but even that requires specialized treatment. Because it's a registry cleaner also. 3000 lines = 136 kb. Maybe a bit more. Do you really believe 136 kb is a noticeable difference on a drive retrieving data at 3 mbps ?

"a bloated registry is a myth" WHAT? Care to provide a "fact" about that?
Okay, export 3000 lines of your registry and report back the size.
Your "Facts" of creating a 3000 line text file means nothing in relation
to a database.
"identify the problem and use the correct tool." That's exactly what a
registry cleaner is, a tool. If you aren't experienced enough to use
one, don't, by all means. But you'll never convince anyone who
successfully uses reg cleaners (by knowing how to use them), by your
text file comparisons.
