I have not moved on to 0SX as yet but if it is anything like the Unix system my sgi runs you are able to set the time that the OS performs its housekeeping which could be in the background during the day, although this may slow your machine down a little. It may be more efficient to leave your machine on overnight so that your daytime work is not compromised.
