So I guess you still have to reboot a Mac, to clear the ram still ? ?
One reason is to clear caches. Caches are supposed to make every OS run quicker, but every OS gets corrupt caches. I still haven't figured out why the developers, that know much more than me, haven't figured out a way to handle the corruption without a reboot.
One other item that is cleared with yours truly is also VM, which is swap space for RAM. May still be something to the RAM equation.

It also occurs to me that there was at least one iTunes update in there. Granted, I've gone much longer without rebooting, but with all the stuff they keep adding to iTunes, I'd guess there's some potential for getting stuffed up.
