Never heard of it.  Looks like it does basically the same things the other utilities do.

Give it a try and let us know what you think.

I did try it after reviewing a bunch of positive individual reviews and it seems that it has done nothing for the problem I am trying to solve -- which appears to be a rapid memory leak. I've tried numerous cleanup/optimization tools over the past year but have seen no noticeable improvement.

One thing I keep wondering about (and I know nothing about it) is the size of my "paging file". I've read up on it but I still don't understand it and never screw with settings unless I actually do understand. I have the default "system managed size" option clicked but admit I'm tempted to just crank that up. But I can't/won't - God knows what may happen!

It may not be a clean up that you need to do.  It may be a software causing your problem.  Let us know what software you use the most, security software plus version number, and browser that you use.
