Is there any benefit to using different accounts on my computer?

After having my macbook for well over a year, it occurred to me while watching a OSX tutorial vid that maybe there might be some advantage to myself having different user accounts depending on the applications I'm using?

For example, I think I may have a bunch of background processes being used by various applications because of all the applications and stuff and being connected to the internet and all.

I also use applications like Logic Pro which I guess would help that as much of the cpu/memory isn't being hogged by anything else in the background.

So my question would be would it help, to say, have one user acount (like my original admin account) that has all the internet and general usage applications installed and then have another with just my audio apps and no other stuff.

Its like I'm thinking this works kinda like how you would have different extension sets on pre- osx systems. Like I would turn alot of unneeded extensions and control panels off when I was using my computer for just audio/recording in OS7/8 or 9.

I have no idea if this even makes sense.

Thanks

 

Thanks... yeah, my macbook runs great. I was just wondering if having specific applications installed on different user accounts might squeeze a bit more performance with regards to audio recording, for example.

 

Thanks. OK, so its nothing I should worry about then. I already use dashboard killer for example and I was concerned over these other bunches of background processes that may or may not have anything to do with the functioning of my system.
