[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 666297, member: 56231"] They certainly do. You may have noticed the length of time taken on restart to be perhaps as much as twice the usual startup time (commonly reported). The update and restart process clears a lot of caches - "Booting the thing uses a lot of cached files to speed the process up. Major updates make these caches obsolete so they have to be re-created, hence the delays. If you are using >= 10.4 then Spotlight will probably want to have a go at things too. Things are faster the second time round" (that from another forum). As well as overwriting, the update deletes completely the redundant files, hence you don't see any 'old stuff' in your Trash. An update shouldn't add much, if any, to your HD. [/QUOTE]
