Based on simple browsing it appears Xslimmer is the more comprehensive, automated (professional) of the three. OSX’s kernel is a micro-kernel, so in fact it can have 32 bit parts, like the drivers, if they don’t need to be 64 bit.Įxcept on the PowerMac G5. 4 alternatives listed Popular alternatives 1 Monolingual 2 MacClean 3 MacBooster View all Xslimmer was added to AlternativeTo by MauricioBJ on and this page was last updated Nov 2, 2016.
