That's been the quick and easy fix for my network of Macs for many years. It hasn't failed me yet. I sometimes also use NU and Disk Warrior prior to the optimizing, but I don't use them always and the optimization coupled with a restart fixes the problem. ( Except for those rare times when a program like Netscape decides to corrupt its preferences and requires them to be trashed.) The optimization puts things back in order and also gives me a noticable speed boost. it's amazing how much a fragmented drive slows things down. The speed dies slowly and isn't noticed until it is returned.
