Although the word "optimization" shares the same root as "optimal", it is rare for the process of optimization to produce a truly optimal system. The optimized system will typically only be optimal in one application or for one audience. One might reduce the amount of time that a program takes to perform some task at the price of making it consume more memory. In an application where memory space is at a premium, one might deliberately choose a slower algorithm in order to use less memory. Often there is no "one size fits all" design which works well in all cases, so engineers make trade-offs to optimize the attributes of greatest interest. Additionally, the effort required to make a piece of software completely optimal — incapable of any further improvement — is almost always more than is reasonable for the benefits that would be accrued; so the process of optimization may be halted before a completely optimal solution has been reached. Fortunately, it is often the case that the greatest improvements come early in the process.
Optimizer Pro 4.66 is shareware which also means beware..all of freeware and shareware have not been tested so load at your own risk. But most of those optimizer programs do what you can do yourself. Run Disk Cleanup to remove all of the .tmp files. Do a defragment to consolidate all of your information on your hard drive so you don't have gaps and get rid of programs you don't need any longer with the Add/Remove function. These are the same things that optimizer products do.
