[QUOTE="BrianLachoreVPI, post: 1304653, member: 193366"] Your Mac is 'resting' when it's asleep :) The reality is - you can just sleep your Mac without a restart until you feel like performance may be degrading - then give it a restart. I haven't restarted my MBP since the last SW update. Your fans may have cranked up due to some flash loading on a particular website. Not uncommon. Take good care of your Mac by not spilling anything on it, don't drop it, keep it up to date - and periodically - as in 6 mos or so if you feel performance is degrading - use a maintenance tool like Onyx. While I don't see a problem running iStat, although others here may disagree, just make sure you don't artificially set your fans to a low speed. There's a fan controller governing the fan speed for a reason. :) [/QUOTE]
