I do a few things:)

1. Use MacJanitor
2. Delete files from User>Library>Cache
3. Use iDefrag
4. Shutdown and restart when it's running slow.
5. Use Disk Warrior
6. Repair permissions

Will be interested to see what other geeks do!

You never need to defrag a Mac. It's useless. Mac OS automatically defragments files.

One important tip to get a faster Mac: Don't install those wannabe "get a faster computer" tools or plugins.

When you want a slower machine - do it. ;)

There seems to be a lot of disagreement about whether or not defragging a mac is of any use. From my personal experience, especially if you're dealing with a lot of large video or image files for editing, it makes a HUGE difference to the speed after a defrag, and I know of many other people who have experienced the same difference as well. At the end of the day, it's whatever works best for you.

Yup, with large files it makes sense. An exception for the most of us. ;)
95% (and more) of the files on the HD are smaller then 20MB.
