Clarifying Speed Improvements for i7 and/or Solid State HD's

[Peachesbackwards]

Begging you indulgence but I'm still not quite grasping what upgrading from an i3 to i7 and/or Solid State HD might do for an average computer user like myself. Specifically, when I run System Mechanics Registry Cleaner for my entire computer let's say it now takes 4 minutes to run for my entire C drive and when I use Spyware Doctor for my entire computer lets say it takes 2 Hours for my i3 Sata laptop with 320 SATA 2.5 HDD. Use these rough approximate times for this example whether you agree with these times or not as they're just for the purpose off ilulstration.

If I update from i3 to i7 what would you guess would now be the times to complete Systems Registry Cleaner (4 Minutes) and Spyware Doctor (2 Hours)?
How about if I stayed at i3 but got a Solid State HD?

Thank you for your input. I realize I'm simplifying things but in this case it will still give me a rough idea what if anything a faster CPU or a Solid State HD would do for an average computer user like myself. I gathered from prior comments, not much, but if it drastically reduces application running time like Spyware Doctor and running a complete anti virus scan then it would still be worth it to me to upgrade/ If it doesn't, yeah it would be wasting my money for just average computer use.

None,because scanning is mostly dependant on the speed of your hard drive. The i3 will handle the CPU load easily.

Also, CCleaner and Malwarebytes

OK then So What about Speed of a Solid State HD?

OK, I gather your saying the entire 2 applications I used for an example to run from beginning to completion would take the same time whether it was on an 13 or i7 computer. What about if the Hard Drive was a Solid State Hard Drive. Would that make the total running time on these 2 applications & say running a full virus scan, noticeably shorter?

Scanning on the SSD yes, because they are generally extremely fast and have no access times, it's instantaneous, the HDD has to position the head on the platter and seek for the file. Quick scans generally just do the C:\ drive and common directories, so unless you squeeze everything onto a small SSD or shell out big money for a large capacity SSD, it'll only change scanning time of the SSD. Hope that helps.
