Sloppy programming
This is an rather alarming trend showing in many OS X applications: Caches that speed up an application under certain situations, but cause grief down the road or when the environment is different than that of the programmer.

You could use Cocktail to handle cache cleanup. It does a really nice job of cleaning all the caches (as well as running system maintenance off hours).
Sloppy programming
I am not an expert, relying on graphical interface tools to try and solve Mac problems (one day I'll try to learn Unix!!). I have helped friends whose Macs have slowed down in numerous ways by clearing all caches using Onyx. It seems to clear out anything that may be troublesome when too bloated or somehow corrupted. I have had excellent results getting these (mainly G4) machines back up to speed.
Sloppy programming
I think we're way off from becoming Windows-like in that regard. There is no mysterious, corruptible, bloated, unresponsive registry in OS X. I've got a G4 running panther that has never been reinstalled. It runs snappy as the day I put panther on it. (And had the DeathStar drive not died on me, it'd have been an "upgrade" install...) |
