Have you considered using the REGEDIT built-in functions as an external command to improve performance?

(It would not be PURE kix, but reather KIX, with a command prompt, and temp files.)

code:
REGEDIT /E filename1 [regpath1]
/E filename1 Specifies the file to export the registry to. 
Regpath1 Specifies the starting registry key to export from. (Defaults to exporting the entire registry).
I've seen some fancy VBS scripts using this feature.
