How much RAM does your MacBook Pro have? You may consider adding some memory to improve overall system performance.

As far as maintenance tasks, as long as you keep everything cleaned up, make sure you've got about 15-20% hard drive space free at all times and make sure those scripts get run.

Scripts

Mainmenu in Leopard does not full work, and was addressed by the developer of the program :http://www.santasw.com/blog/

I use Mainmenu to clean other things , but you could run the maintenance scripts in terminal like this, here is the link:http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html

What is it that you are trying to improve? You are being too vague. Is it a certain application, or OS X overall?

If it is OS X overall, installing more RAM won't really help unless you are exceeding the 2GB's already installed.

Use Activity Monitor (spotlight it) and see how much memory you are using. Add the Wired and Active memory amounts together to see how much memory you are using.

If confused by that, read: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107918
