This is a rough "Disk Defrag" for Mac. I will occasionally use this Utility if my system becomes sluggish. Hope this helps.
There is also another location for "Force Quit", it's up at the top left. Hold down the Apple and it is on the resulting drop down list. You can sometimes access this when the Dock is unresponsive.

All of the above is correct,but another way to force quit I haven't seen mention is to hold down the apple,option and esc keys.....
