[G4] Sleep or leave running?

[Ingrid Mager]

I sleep my compiuter a lot, like over night when I am in the middle  
of a lot of online research..., and I run it overnight a lot trying  
to make downloads (only have dial-up available out here <gasp>)

Well, the only thing I have to share is that the computer bogs down a  
lot when I have had it running too long...cache stuff, I suspect.  
Anyway, when I reboot, then everything goes back to normal and runs  
spiffy again. So that isn't exactly the answer to your question, but  
I just wanted to share my personal experience...has nothign to really  
do with what is better form the computer itself.
