Optimization is done by OS X - Xeater

Onyx, and other "optimizers," simply run OS X's optimizer. You can do this from the terminal as well (sorry, I forget the command). So you cannot have had problems with any of these, since they all use Apple's optimization utility.

New and Improved - Mr Reynolds--2008

Whether your allegation is true or not--and I am not able to judge the proprietary methods of various software developers, or whether I have always been buying a pig in a poke at a much higher price than OnyX--there was once an application named "Drive 10" which even Apple was encouraging us to buy, and it made a right hash of everything on the drive, which had to be restored by another proprietary application--after taking about forever to run. If you have not had a negative experience at some point during the manifestations of OS X with the operation of "Norton Utilities," your are greener or luckier than I have been. If you have used "Now Utilities" in System 9--or in Classic--and haven't experienced difficulties, I would be very surprised. So frankly I don't know what you are talking about: I have been burned often enough--and sometimes badly enough--not to boldly go where every President leads me, if you get my drift.
