today i tested two software

kleansweep
- empty files
 - empty directories
 - backup files
 - broken symbolic links
 - broken executables (executables with missing libraries)
 - dead menu entries (.desktop files pointing to non-existing executables)
 - duplicated files
 - orphaned files -- files not found in RPM (for rpm-based distros, e.g.
   Fedora Core, Suse) or DPKG (for dpkg based distros, e.g. Debian and
Ubuntu)
   database
 - obsolete thumbnails (thumbnails conforming to freedesktop.org standard,
   pointing to non-existing images)


FSlint
- Duplicate files
- Problematic filenames
- Temporary files
- Bad symlinks
- Empty directories
- Nonstripped binaries




both of are for similar task. to remove useless files and folder. but works
in different style.
the comparison between them seem to be meaning less, because the styles are
different.

the kleansweep consumes more resources and time(too long).
also feel there are bugs. all options are not working properly at all time.
i had to kill the program for three times.
