Os X 10.4.10 maintenance?

[ian Bourgal]

I've been running OSX 0.4.10 for about a year and a half with PT 7.3. I record to an external HD, but have moved large sessions and sample libraries back and forth. I'm noticing the system slowing down alot. I want to make sure everything is up to speed for a large live session coming up. any ideas? I get conflicting info when I look into defrag/optimize. Just want to make sure I'm in good shape for a live recording.

thanks

Another factor which can influence audio performance is how full the HD is. Opinions vary but I've read that anything less than 25% spare capacity can be problematical.
