I have seen that on discussion lists, but not in any official source. OS 
X uses several means to fight fragmentation so maybe just focusing on 
defragging is missing the point. 

Apple gives several reasons why defragging is wasted effort here:

However I have noticed that using Disk Warrior to rebuild the disk's 
*directory* does speed things up (sometimes a lot) and is much faster 
than defragging.
