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: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1375 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. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
