Running all these things at once can cause troubles here and there on top of pushing my system to its limits running many intensive applications all at once on top of all the other stuff I mentioned. I'm brutal and extremely demanding of my machine.
Every now and then my machine needs a good cleaning to keep it as snappy as possible and that's where Onyx comes in.
Using Onyx I easily clear the System caches (boot, kernel & extensions, directory services, assorted components, etc.) and User caches (apps, preferences of sys panels, desktop background, dock icons, quicklook, etc.) and my machine will be snappier and back to new. There's a little bit of rebuilding of the caches that might make a few things sluggish for a moment, but then everything gets snappier and snappier as fresh caches are rebult and corruption/slowdowns go out the window.
Also checks for corrupt preference files which is very good among many other extremely useful tools.
Onyx clears my caches flawlessly on Snow Leopard and it also works on Lion great too. Love this app. Truly allows me to abuse my machine and be as productive as possible while being able to quickly and easily maintain it.

There is a version of OnyX for each version of Mac OS X (Too many differences between the versions of Mac OS X).

I do not like messing with the OS as I tend to mess about too much and break things, so to have a tool that will do these jobs for me is a must.
Onyx is easy to use and the support is first class, that is all I ask for with any app.

If you want to hate something, hate injustice. If you want to bash something, bash oppression. For our fellow computer users, there should be only love.

the day i downloaded and installed onyx. i take care for the download either from macupdate or the original website.
It always says to me " No new version is available. OK to continue. " even when i check for updates manually !
i'm running 2.4.03b and i had to download 2.4.0 to install it myself.
