RE; I have had good luck with omnidisksweeper  free trial version,the 
only downside to it is that it is difficult if its working or if its 
finnished,you can only tell by seeing line of data change color,
its really very subtle,but acts basicaly as a defragmenter.and also 
turbomemory.I hope this helps
