"I've had it with rebooting my notebook and my desktop constantly because my applications crawl to a halt. I've had it with reformatting my drives every few months to get rid of all the stuff that accumulates on them.

It's not an everyday thing but I have to log in as Admin and do a full Onyx maintenance run or my G5 iMac will start to sputter and run slow. I do an Onyx run which is followed by a reboot about 1-2 times a month.

Maybe I'm more picky about it but there's a definite difference in performance afterwords.

Leave your computer on over night... it will do the maintenance on its own.

I don't even know what that is. When my G5 iMac slows down, I just launch Disk Utility from System Preferences and run "Verify Permissions" on my boot disk. Problem solved in 2 minutes.
