Still waiting for Speedy the Snail to deliver my check but I take these steps one further since I am in dire need of HD space these days. I have been stripping the BUM files form all my directories and only make them when needed for a project. I find the figures load and pose much easier and I can do/work with larger scenes and just throw the BUMs on when ready to render. It make for a little extra work but my puter has been much happier and far less lock-ups while figgiting with the poses. AND I found 3+GIGs on my HD that were not there before ;p
