Could you explain in the form of an analogy? Also, has this improved over time? Does it have anything to do with registry and defrag? Is it different for Mac vs PC? Thank you 🙂

Over time errors build up either through chance or poor programming causing the use of additional resources, when you reboot everything gets set back to normal.

There is probably not a big difference between Mac and Windows, but windows have historically had a lot of really crap programs written for it and because it’s been much more open than Mac is much more acceptable to random issues. Such as a badly written drives for the cheap video card from who knows where no one should be using vs the video card apple wrote the driver for.
