Ahhh, yes. "Repair Permissions." The great Mac OS X parlor game. Used to love how all the 20,000-plus-post boys and girls on the Apple Forums, after first assuring the complainers about new OS bugs (maybe 500 of them or so) that they really COULDN'T be having the problem, because many, including the Guru, weren't. Then they would very aggressively ask them, "well, did you repair permissions before and after installing."
Wasn't really a BIG deal until Leopard, when the "repair" time on my boot volume went from <5 minutes to > than 20.
Jesus wept.
