Photographers generally have better things to do than tweak the Registry,
and tweaking the Registry is unwise for anyone who doesn't tweak such things
for a living.

None of this is relevant to the photographer's task.

If a photographer finds that his computer runs too slowly for his needs, the
simplest solution is to buy a larger computer.  It won't be the cheapest in
terms of capital investment, but it will certainly be the cheapest in terms
of time gained, and his time is more valuable than the computer hardware he
is using.
