I noticed a few days ago somebody mentioned deleting log files & tmp files, is this necessary? If so what else should i be doing?
If i don't will it have an adverse affect on my system?
The reason i ask is i,ve noticed Firefox & Thunderbird are taking longer to load, only a few seconds longer but it's noticeable. I,ve spent an hour or so searching the official doc's on ML, It doesn't seem to imply its needed.
Running 10.1 with all the updates.

Always check your /var/log directory for signs of problems. If your log files are getting too large, then you need to view them to see if there are any problems. A useful check is:
(From the root prompt:)
cd /var/log grep -y error * | less
