Laurent Muller has updated Xupport
(http://www.applicorn.com/download.php) a
multipurpose system utility for Mac OS X, to
version 3.5.

This is a maintenance and performance update. It
provides an entirely improved Optimization
section, whereby the Network Optimizer increases
the download speed even more, and the Virtual
Memory Optimizer frees up more hard disk space on
the boot volume. Beside that, it provides many
other improvements and some minor bug fixes.
