So, why does repair permissions cure a slowed down OSX mac? Every once
in a while, without new installations, it starts taking longer and
longer for windows to open and thing to get done, and fixing
permissions restores it to snappiness. This is with both of my iBooks,
2001 600 G3 and 2005 933 G4.
I do use cron apps so they do the same thing just as well, along with
other maintennance tasks they left out of X....

The Disk Utility Repair Disk Permissions process has nothing to do

But Repair Disk Permissions has all to do with software on the Mac.
It has all to do with the operating system, the updates from Apple,
the applications from Apple, and third party applications. The main
benefit from repairing disk permissions is to straighten out the
damage that can occur through installation of some third party
applications. This has to do with UNIX keeping track of the existence
and whereabouts of software files and folder, not the user's files and
folders.
