No kidding. Not that I think defrags are snake oil, but come on, why
waste my time reading this report?
From the report:
"A system running Outlook showed an increase in performance of 67.9
to 176.1 percent after defragmentation.
A system running Excel showed an increase in performance of 83.7
percent after defragmentation."
Maybe so, but as people will remember from my tests on real world
machines - reading all files on the hard drive - the speed
improvements I saw were more in the 5-7% range.
