Whoops! I've been rattling on about "optimizing" and I use TT Pro 3 (booting from CD) to "optimize" every time I have little malfunctions and every time - sometimes including a DT rebuild - my troubles cease and certain function speeds increase but barely perceptibly - or so it seems?? And you are saying I shouldn't optimize at all when the Optimization graph shows a percentage of Fragmentation and after two passes takes that "fragmentation" down to zero?? That's why I've been calling Optimizing, "defragmenting" because it appears in TT to be the primary function and end result of "optimization"?
