    This used to be a good product and I defended it from the very beginning, but this version froze on me and stopped responding after analysis. It consumed 100% of 1 of my cpu cores until I ended the task in Task Manager. Thank god it wasn't multithread enabled.

    Updated 11/14/09: Version 2.7 fixed the freeze after analysis, so I'm revising my score to 4 stars instead on 1 star. I'm wondering if defragmenting the registry is done by disk defragmenters like PerfectDisk or Diskeeper.

    Excellent product. The only thing that has changed in this version is the icons on main window. Still waiting for that before and after comparison feature to be added, HTML report just isn't the same.

    I'm not sure this actually does anything. I used it a year ago and it always recommended a defrag. I now use Free Registry Defrag, and while I'ml not sure if it actually does anything, it's more informative and less reflexive than Quicksys. Updates are rare.

    "Snake oil".. cracked me up *8-) Jury's still out on the benefits of this type of thing, but there are two facts to note. One, the registry hives exist in physical files that programs like Sysinternals' PageDefrag can target and defragment. Two, hives can eventually wind up becoming bigger than they might otherwise be because of slack space caused by modified or deleted keys, which programs like NTREGOPT correct. For someone like me who installs and uninstalls software on an extremely frequent basis, a periodic run of a program that rewrites the registry and eliminates slack space is probably a fairly good thing - if only to recover a few meg of space on a drive that's about to burst at the seams. I do the same thing for my mail folders in TheBat periodically. Same concept. Performance benefit? Probably minimal. Snake oil? If you want to call it that.
