I tried out the various flavors and options of DIRMS. The one configuration which does a really good defrag was CPU intensive to the max and took forever to complete. The others weren't enough improvement over standard XP defrag to bother with, IMHO. In one case, DIRMS actually fragmented a very large contiguous file.
Buzzsaw (service version), however, is an excellent maintenance product, as I've already noted.

I'm in the process of sorting through all the info and figuring out what to do on my system. One thing, however, I have decided is to use DirMS and Buzzsaw. Other than really obscure interfaces and dense info files they seem to do everything that I would want from the XP flavor of Diskeeper or the after market programs. As I understand it, DirMS defrags, and condenses if you want, and then Buzzsaw monitors activity and defrags on the fly. Anyone think I've missed something critical here?
