Clearing most caches is nothing more than a placebo and does little to
actually improve operating conditions. Most apps are efficient enough
that they can handle the cleaning of their own caches, but, once in a
while you do have a cache that's corrupted and a poorly written
program will be influenced by the corrupted cache.
The one cache that I do occasionally empty is Safari's cache (use
Empty Cache under the Safari menu).
