Registry Finder performance - something is amiss ...
As I reported in the betas, a full RF registry scan takes about six times longer in PT2008 than in PT2007. Full means all key, name, and value options are selected for scanning.

Minor Improvements
* Highly enhanced registry scanning speed, searching the registry with Registry Finder or running the Registry Cleaner is a lot faster than with PT 2007. . .
Unfortunately, the RF full scan performance has not improved to date.
The message windows below show v.1.8.0.449 taking ~15 minutes to do a scan that v.1.7.0.422 does in only ~2.5 minutes. They also show that most of the excess time is in the HKCR part of the process.
Note: I used v.1.8.0.449 because at least one v.1.8.0.455 scan fails to find what it should.
