Depends on what you mean by "optimize" and "quick"; generally the term "optimize" is used to refer to the fragmented condition that hard drives get in requiring defragmentation. Others may use this tern for different conditions, but "defragging" is the usual reference. For this operation there is Norton DiskDoctor/SpeedDisk, TechTool and Disk Warrior (first that come to mind). Apart from these, repairing permissions should be considered a regular maintenance task. Disk Utility, included with OS X can repair permissions. There are also some shareware items that do these tasks as well as log rotation and other UNIX tasks through friendly UIs. Onyx, MacJanitor and Cocktail are several available now. HTH. I am sure others of the erstwhile list membership will have other suggestions.
