Improve performance?

[Aspect]

My MBP just doesnt feel as quick as it used to. Is there anything i can do to speed it up?

Im guessing it may be down to free hard drive space, but i was wondering if there was anything else to look out for.

I understand that macs auto defrag in the background, but apps just dont load as quick as they used to. Maybe something to do with 10.5.2?

There are a couple out there including Onyx, Cocktail, and Monolingual/Delocalizer which you run to carry out maintenance.

How much RAM you running at the moment anyway?

It's got 2 gig in.

If you have less than 50% hard drive space then OS X will start choking.

You can clear out caches (~Macintosh HD, Library, Cache OR ~Library, Cache) and run a command in Terminal;

sudo periodic daily

It will ask for a password, enter it and press return.

I think i have around 1/3 free hard drive space. I'll have a look what i can clear off tonight.

PS. Run what command in terminal?
