No other basic applications will do more than those two apps you already use. For more extensive optimization and repairs, use a product like Disk Warrior. DiskWarrior 4.

I second onyx, for sure! It's been quite helpful to me several times. Just helps to tweak things and keep an already great computer just purring along.

Ditto. I prefer Cocktail as well. Cocktail has "Pilot" mode whereas I don't believe Onyx does (at least, I've never found that option).
