They both work very well. If your computer explodes it will not be because of these these registry hacks / programs.

It might be all that porn you are downloading though...

Other than the gonnasyphaherpaids I picked up last night from that squirrel in Dalaran I have been good.

Thank you for asking.

*In all seriousness though guys, I have been using both of these "mods" if you want to call them that since I made this post and I have yet to see any adverse effects. The ONLY "issue" I have noted is when you use the gamebooster it prevents you from streaming music to other devices (such as my ps3) because it turns off Media Center. That being said, it considers that a useless background process and turns it off intentionally, so that is understandable.

The TCP change will likely net you slightly lower latency at a cost of maximum down/upload speed. For a gamer, I can see this being an acceptable tradeoff. Just understand that you cannot cheat the speed of light, or hardware processing times. The signal has to stumble it's way through the tubes and routers and big trucks that make up the internet. East coast to LA is about 100ms on a good day. Once it hits blizzard, you're looking at another 50ms minimum before it hits the server. Just the nature of the beast here, so don't expect to suddenly have zero latency. There will always be lag. Always.

[edit]Redacted- The second thing is legit, and appears to work, but does nothing someone familiar with the concept cannot do themselves.

If you're looking to system optimize, I can help-- but there's no one single trick to getting dramatic performance increases. In fact, most tweaks aren't dramatic at all. A few frames per second or marginally faster loading ingame. But there are some relatively simple, fast, and easy steps you can take that can yield dramatic performance boosts. Here, a freebie. Spybot Search and Destroy is free, effective, simple, and can return massive (25-50%) performance increases on severely compromised systems with only an hour or so invested.

I can vouch that leatrix works to significantly lower latency if u have that problem, I was normally between 160-250ms and downloaded and installed leatrixlatencyfix after seeing it in an EJ UI thread.... and now my latency is between 50-60ms

Id like to say this script completely fixed my random disconnect issues since last tuesdays patch. 
After last weeks patch I was receiving an unusual amount of disconnects, almost always at the beginning of an instance or right before or during a boss pull. I just kept passing the blame to my new ISP, Comcast.

Some random pug I was tanking in recommended this script to clean up packet loss etc between my game and the wow server.    I must not have taken Nath's orignal post into consideration, but found out its the same fix!

I'm not totally saying this script was a miracle, but I have not disconnected since and its been about 3 days now.   Maybe it will help someone out who had the same issues with random, quick d/c, yet low latency.  If you're not having random disconnects, well good for you, you dont need this.

Step 2 on the EJ thread is the same thing as the first program that is linked.  The second program is different in that it shuts down a lot of the services that are running on your computer that WoW doesn't need.
