Check everything, run, restart.
General slowdown can be caused by a buildup of cache files or log
files,
this program does a good basic spring clean of these things.
Which if the machine has been left on, as has been hinted at. Apple
and the GNU originators of programs has various cronjobs doing just
this in the wee hours of the morning and at 4 in the afternoon.
If you happen to be doing video production or maybe high capacity
media files I would suggest running Diskwarrior over cache, capture
drive or all drives at least once a month of course this depends on
frequency of media being captured or manipulated.
With 10.4, I would be very careful deleting or cleaning cache files.
As these are extremely important to smooth operation of various
systems within Tiger. Which if moved or cleaned will slow system down
considerably and even cause some weird happenings and malfunctions.
As Shay has suggested activity monitor to see if something is using
excess machine or memory.
Worthwhile investigating this site.
