I think some of it is determined based on the apps you've been running. If I
am only using e-mail and Safari, say, the thing doesn't have to be rebooted
for a long time. However, when we do an editing session and have been
running Final Cut Pro, Garage Band and Soundtrack Pro with multiple files
open, there's no question that a reboot jumps up performance again, even if
FCP hasn't crashed it. If I am going to do any work after my film editor and
sound engineer have gone for the day, I definitely reboot, it makes things
run much quicker and without any glitches.
Best,

I leave my mini all the time, and only re-boot when I get updates from
Apple.
I'm slight peeved that I have to reboot after the updates, as I don't
have to on Linux, but it isn't that often.
The only things I would check if it's slowing down are the number of
items on your desktop, and what you have starting when you boot. I.e.
how many apps are running at the same time.
Cheers,
