Guru: it is repairing permissions.

And for some reason, that is not he case with Linux, which has got the REAL permissions hell, just because of inconsistency between distros and most tasks requiring root access. I.e. configure/make/install breaks permissions everywhere.

in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, there’s a second, hidden version of the Repair Permissions feature that may be more effective at solving some problems than the better-known one

Is your Mac OS X Lion slower and slower? How to speed up Mac OS X Lion? This problem could be solved or considerably lessened with the following simple ways:
Repair Disk Permissions. Navigate to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Select your Macintosh HD and select Verify Disk Permissions. If needed you can then Repair Disk Permissions.
Get rid of languages and translations you won't use. Apple is very considerate in providing language localizations for various languages. But the chances are you aren't using the Catalan, Farsi, or Klingon language localizations on your Mac. You can strip out the unused ones and gain more efficiency

I love how they specify the exact release "OS X Lion", because on Snow Leopard repairing permissions wont speedup the OS.

Then I wonder, why there is no RAM defragmentation utilities for MacOSX. You know RAM quickly gets fragmented, slowing down random access.

Bro, that shit's expensive. All you need to do is read it. And you don't have to join a gym if you shell out the money to have a home gym, but going to the gym is the most economically viable way to do it.
