I know all of us *nix geeks like to brag about uptime compared to our windows counterparts.
My panther machine (450Mhz G4) and my TiBook (1.25Ghz G4) have uptimes of 40+ days but I am noticing slow downs as time goes by and my machine stays on without any reboots.
Applications take longer to load (compared to a freshly rebooted machine), and when applications do load, they lag (I type faster than the characters show on the textbox - and this is usually not the case!)
My usual applications are FMP6, Safari, Entourage, MS Word, Excel, PPT textedit, iSync (and a few used on occasion such as dreamweaver and photoshop).
I have run the daily/weekly/monthly cleanup scripts through MacJanitor, but I do not know of any other techniques to make my system speed up without a reboot.
There are some apps that stay on all the time on the work machine:
FMP, Safari, iCal
There TiBook only has safari and maybe entourage on all the time.
Any ideas? or is a reboot my only option for a speedup?
