But then, it is after all ,OSX, the most outdated OS on the planet.

Many programs and system processes cache commonly used information,
which
can initially speed up the system, but in the long run can cause
slow-downs if cached information is either corrupted or has become so
large that it takes extra time to sort through. If the system gets
bogged
down and takes longer to boot and load applications that used to run
fast, many times running a cache cleaning program will fix the
problem.
There are a variety out there, including "Leopard Cache Cleaner",
"MacCleanse", and "OnyX", which are good to get in the habit of
running
every month or two. Running these programs too often may remove
otherwise
healthy caches and cause the system to keep having to rebuild them,
but
refreshing the caches every few months or when slowdowns occur will
not
hurt anything.


Windoze has the same problem with application prefetching

Unfortunately - we are discussing OSX on this thread. This is a Mac
group.
If you have Windows issues, complain to MS.

Then you girlie--zarathingspookly==no nuts have no business being here
since you're not a Mac user. Pot, kettle, black, but that's way over
your head.

It must have gotten into your head - you seem to be getting more irrational.
Later tonight I'm going to make another offering. Any rectal bleeding yet?
