Freezing will also do this, providing more flavor, as it breaks the walls in the cells of the fruit and makes all of the juice available. I routinely do this when making wine.

Never a good idea to squeeze limes! I know this since I'm in regular contact with an Egyptian-American who spent five yers running University Of Maryland's cafeterias before he came to work for the Federal Government. Better to put the lime halves in a chopper device and pound them thoroughly. That breaks more of the juice sacks down and gets you more juice and more flavor.
