Does anyone know of any software that runs on OSX that gives similar functionality as the Windows Hardware Profile thing. I want to setup a profile that is tuned for live gigs. Furthermore, does anyone have any tips on tuning the Mac for best performance?

turn off spotlight in leopard:

and in tiger:

turning off wifi and bluetooth is much more important IMO...
i made myself an extra partition containing a stock leopard (10.5.6) which i'm using for djing only... i installed as few as possible (namely traktor, itch and automap) and stored my tracks on this partition... turned off wifi, bluetooth and that's it!
if you do make your own dj-partition you could even disable spotlight permanently on this partition (i'm not 100% sure, but it should still work in your "normal" partition though)!

I like to keep wifi on. For one to use the iTM DJ iPhone apps, but also because I like to be able to download songs requested that I dont have yet.
If you do keep an internet connection, make sure you disable any sync software like MobileMe, Plaxo etc. Of course also kill IM and stuff like that.Traktor Pro 2.5.0, Mixxx 1.9.1, Massive, Ableton Live 8
