I was disappointed to see that it said it requires 10.7 or later, as I'm still on 10.6.8 (thanks to the Mac Mini I'm typing this on I'll be moving to 10.8.5 shortly so I can run Adobe CC).  Anyway on a whim I decided to try 'purge', and it worked.  So I was trying to make sure I'd read the list correctly, when I found it's MIA.

I don't recommend using the Purge command routinely.  See:
