If you shut down your Mac at night it's not able to run some important self-maintenance.
"Here is another great utility to run the system's daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance scripts (located at /etc/daily, /etc/weekly, and /etc/monthly). These scripts are normally run between 3am and 5am, and will not be run if you shut off your Mac at night. But with MacJanitor, you can run these scripts by hand periodically and keep your Mac's system databases from getting too large."
MacJanitor from Brian R. Hill brianhill@mac.com
"Because Mac OS X is based on Unix, it performs several automatic maintenance operations throughout the week. But unlike most Unix machines, most Macs are shutdown at night by their owners, and it's at night that these maintenance functions are performed. MacJanitor essentially lets you run those processes right away so that you can save power at night. In addition to improving performance, MacJanitor gets rid of unnecessary files that clutter your Mac."
