Reading / loading the data of all programs that reside on a computer at startup 
is overkill, particularly those programs
of  which  one  knows,  even at the time they are being installed, that they 
will only be used a few times (or even only
once) a year.

Perhaps  there  should  be  two registries, the regular one and one for seldom 
used programs (a decision the user should
take at installation time) which is only loaded when one of those programs is 
started.
