In answer to your question:
Since DiskWarrior runs only in OS 9, and I have several nine programs that I need to visit during the month, it is my habit, since I am in nine, to check DiskWarrior display to see how much out of order it reports. Generally, by the time it reports 20% or more, I run it for sure, but if I am not busy, I will sometimes run it on a lower percentage. This has been my general monthly maintenance procedure for several years with the same DiskWarrior version! BUT, it is only in the last few months that I have ventured to use Applejack, especially because it requires startup in safe mode CMD+s, and the instructions are cryptic and typical of programmer jargon, as an example: the incorrectly written instruction for the use of auto vs. AUTO. Disk Utility sparkled with red errors - but THEN > REPORTED ALL FIXED. Run it again until it finds no errors.
