I used to micromanage my registry, back when it was consuming valueable space in the paged pool... as of XP, the registry is mapped in chunks, just like any other file (or database, for that matter).
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=292726 These days, I don't notice regclean-esque tools adding any perf to my system. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it anymore, unless you're really in the regular habit of registering COM objects and then deleting their implementations... like, numbering in the thousands.

If it is too basic, I apologize.) I have traditionally used a tool called OLECLEAN to remove stale COM registry entries that have been added during development and debugging. Unfortunately, this tool doesn't seem to work with .NET components that expose COM interfaces. Presumably, this is because the InprocServer32 value is set to "mscoree.dll", unlike a traditional COM component. So it always looks like the stale entry is valid, even if the actual .NET assembly is not present. What can I use clean up my registry and remove references to non-existent .NET based COM components?
