[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 971445, member: 24098"] And the same is true of most maintenance tasks. Feeling the need to perform constant maintenance is one of those bad habits many of us bring with us from the Windows world. It simply isn't necessary on OS X. Generally speaking, as it relates to OS X maintenance - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you really feel the need to do some proactive maintenance, you don't need to run a tool like Onyx or MainMenu more than once a quarter or so. Killing all of those caches constantly will actually slow regular use of the machine and sort of defeats the point of a cache to begin with. [/QUOTE]
