I had half a GB left on my 120 GB Hard Drive (White MacBook, 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB Ram) and it saved me so much space. Especially with Microsoft applications. Other than XSlimmer, I recommend going through your library and removing fragments of old applications and crap that you don’t need. I now have 15 GB of free space after removing unnecessary junk.

The developer here took a lot of care to identify code that was extraneous. On the other end of your options is monolingual, which in the past has forced me to commit to a complete clean system re-install. The difference is like a scalpel and an axe, if you want to borrow a metaphor from the campaign trail.

It also compresses images and removes debug information. From my experience, it cleard a MB or so more in an app than Xslimmer. It isn’t much, I agree with that.

Remeber it’s free.

What I like in Xslimmer and miss in Trimmit is the better interface and the wizard for finding/slimming more apps at the same time.

Trimmit is still beta.

Only problem you might find with it is that it lacks multiple slimming on a GUI.
