Surely Tom's isn't just going to advertise these programs without doing due diligence and actually trying to verify the rather fantastical claims that their authors make.
As a rule of thumb, if a piece of software could make windows run faster, MSFT would have already included this functionality in the OS. You're not going to get any real benefits from dubious third party hacks.
Having said that, I have used CCleaner to mop up registry entries that no longer point to anything - buy I did not expect (and did not receive) any performance benefit - I was just clearing up the mess left by a user that had decided to go on an ad-banner clicking spree (/facepalm).
