| OS X Slowdown Is it just me or does OS X feel slower after using it(a fresh install) after a month or so. My xbench results don't go down but overall responsiveness and performance seems to go down. I have no data to support this and I have not done any tests its just the way it feels. I'm sure some people will dismiss this as simply an illusion but if you have noticed and have a solution let me know. I feel it may be large caches and just more data on my drive for it to sift through but who knows.

| well I've used onyx before but after a Kernel panic I gave it up. On top of that it does some needless stuff like updating prebindings, anything 10.3+ does that on the fly if I'm not mistaken but my PB obviously isnt running the nightly cron jobs because it ussually isn't on then. Maybe I'll give Yasu a try because those maintenance scripts really should be run.

| Hi Weezer! Have you tried MacJanitor??? It's FREE and can be downloaded from: http://www.versiontracker.com Type MacJanitor into the Search box... it will take you directly to the download page :-) The following is what MacJanitor does. MacJanitor runs the system's 3 maintenance scripts. Daily Script If the rwho system has been configured, clear out the old files in /var/rwho Clear out files old files and directories in the /tmp and /var/tmp directories Remove system messages older than 21 days If system accounting is on, process the accounting files and gather daily statistics Backup the NetInfo database Output the disk capacities and storage available Show which filesystems haven't had 'dump' performed on them in a while (archaic) Show accumulated network statistics and network uptime (ruptime) Rotate the system.log file and restart the syslog process Clear out the webserver log files older than a week Run the /etc/daily.local script if it exists Run a /etc/security check script if it exists Weekly Script If the /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb database exists, update the 'locate' database If the /usr/libexec/makewhatis.local file exists, rebuilt the 'whatis' database Rotate the following log files: ftp.log, lookupd.log, lpr.log, mail.log, netinfo.log Restart the syslog process Run the /etc/weekly.local script if it exists Monthly Script Run the login accounting process Rotate the wtmp log files Restart the syslog daemon Run the /etc/monthly.local script if it exists See if that helps!
