No no, do some research, the registry is used for pretty much everything on your computer. It's not just a "settings" location for all of your programs. And if there is clutter in there, it would be the same thing as searching through your registry manually or when the computer itself needs to look for something to find out how to execute something. The more clutter you have the longer it will take to do that, and it will slow down computer performance.
Don't use the word guarantee next time. There's proof in the fact that even average computer users will notice a computer slow down after time because they have a cluttered registry. If you wanted to do an experiment, keep your hard drive in top shape by doing defrag every once in a while, clear all of your temp files, do disk cleanups... All on a new computer from the start, and after a while you'll still notice a slowdown. The fact being that the culprit here is a cluttered registry. I studied this stuff in school a while back taking courses in computer engineering.
Using a registry cleaner will also provide a backup option for you. The registry cleaner basically just removes any unused registry files and keys and cleans the registry of errors. The way it does that is it looks for a location for some of the files, and if it's non existent, then it will remove the registry value. If your worried about a screw up then use the restore feature to create a restore point in addition to a backup. Save your backups in the C:\ drive though for easy access to merging it into your computer if it does mess up and you can't get into your computer because of a change the program made. You should be able to do this with the system recovery option of cmd.
