Maintenance for iMac

[Xaviers]

Does defragmenting, deleting temporary files and so on are automatically on a computer with Mac OS X version 10.4.11? I do not use it often, but I find it a little slow for a 2.4 Ghz Inter Core 2 Duo Memory 1GB 667 Mhz DDR2

In short why is maintenance, cleaning of the computer? If you know any free software that make the job completely easy .

thank you

There are also onyx and seems to have very good press on MacGeneration

I have used, but more difficult to configure and less complete than that MainMenu repair permissions.

Above all, the gains for a defragmentation is barely perceptible. Perhaps a few milliseconds. With the new hard drive more efficient, longer really need this feature.

Then, to answer your question, yes, we do it all alone if you leave your computer on standby. Uses the Unix "cron task. These tasks of maintenance and optimization are pre-programmed "in OSX, and usually starts the night at certain intervals. Onyx is a utility to start these tasks manually, in your will.
