[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1637747, member: 24160"] There are all sorts of options you can check out and use in OnyX - once you understand what they are. The general recommendation for those new to OS X and to OnyX is to just use the Automation tab and check off everything under cleaning and maintenance - after you read what they are for yourself - nothing under rebuilding - for your once in awhile maintenance. There are a whole lot of casual users out there that will fall into the never need to run it to the once a year category. (The rebuilding category is for taking care of specific problems you're experiencing.) Power users and those that are highly cognizant of any sort of slow down on their machines will likely want to run it more often and will want to check out the other options OnyX has available. This is a really small group of users and most of these will go in and figure out what works for them based on their own usage patterns. lol - Dave beat me to it - started before dinner and finished after dinner ;P [/QUOTE]
