Registry cleaners do more harm that good. The registry is filled with settings and application configurations not file systems. Cleaning what registry cleaners clean won't speed up performance, but it will harm it causing it to run slower. There are a few orphaned entries that would be helpful to remove, but they won't affect performance. Windows will read the file doesn't exist and it will skip it on start up.
It is a helper's choice to remove orphaned entries or ComboFix will safely remove the ones that need be removed. Otherwise, registry cleaners should not be ran. The only thing that will speed up performance is removing cache and temp files. BootSpeed and CCleaner are good cleaners for that, but should never be used to clean the registry.
