i can tell you what i use it for.
I use the automation process. It runs the OSX built-in maintenence stuff (repair paritions, that sort of stuff) Cleans all your caches out, like internet, kernel (which i dont get)

basically what it does for me is just gives me a manual way of running the built-in OSX functions that keep things tidy. Since i dont leave my computer on overnight (which is when they are auto run), it gives me a way to clean things up myself.

Onyx is a maintenance and customization utility for Mac OS X, it centralizes maintenance tasks into one easy to use interface. It also unlocks some of the hidden customization options that Mac OS X provides.
