When I invoke GNU Emacs (24.4.1 (x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2014-10-21 on KAEL) on Windows, it makes an enormous number of what seem (to me) unnecessary identical registry accesses.

20 times each

QueryValue: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage\28605 (success)
QueryValue: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage\28604 (name not found)

1849 times each in quick succession (!):

OpenKey: HKCU\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs (name not found)
OpenKey: HKLM\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs (name not found)

1850 times likewise (also !):

QueryKey: HKCU (success -- unsurprisingly)

and likewise finally, 1884 times:

QueryKey: HKLM (another unsurprising success)

Why?
