CCleaner used to be lightning fast for me, taking about roughly .072sec to clean (This was on all of my computers, Windows XP and Vista). However, I recently got a new laptop and did a fresh install of Windows 7. Now whenever I run CCleaner, it takes over 1 second to clean. I'm using a faster computer with a faster OS, yet all of a sudden it takes over 10x as long to clean my computer. Is this normal? I would like to know what the average time is for CCleaner to run.
I think many people will think what on earth is he going on about... it only takes one second, on mine it takes longer than that. Every machine will clean ever so slightly differently due to which operating system is running and number of programs installed etc.
Win 7 is a different operating system I think would be most folk's reason.
If I was cleaning an older computer with lots of preinstalled programs on it, then I wouldn't be this paranoid. However, this is a new computer with a fresh install of a relatively faster OS with no additional programs on it other than CCleaner. Had it been 2-3x slower, then it's not really a big deal. But this is well over 10x slower and it goes beyond CCleaner's advertised "less than 1 second to run", which has gotten me pretty worried.
It also depends upon whether you have ticked the "compact databases" option under Firefox and Chrome, that takes a few extra seconds to do.

You are not going to really get much help, because there is nothing for any one to help you with. You are worrying about nothing. CCleaner is taking just over a second to run. Thats good for ccleaner. What on earth are you worried about? What will you do with this .80 of a second?
Take ccleaners statement with a pinch of salt. Key word they added "Normally"
This is ignoring many factors. Secure file deletion. Amount of junk needed to be deleted.
For arguments sake how could ccleaner say it would finish the clean in under a second if i had 3gb of junk and 35 passes set? (not that i would ever advise using 35 passes)
I just tested on mine.
I am using 2.34 at the moment.
I got different times with different runs, but this is with a few hundred tabs open, so resources are in use while running & it is ignoring open firefox windows.
I got: 1.7/0.102/0.110/0.176 etc... I installed the latest 2.36 & got: 0.195/0.126/0.113/0.135/0.123/0.111 etc.
I will have to try it again sometime when I don't have so much opened.
Peace.
