> I've had disk performance SUBSTANTIALLY improve after defragging my
>disk in Win2K.
There was a post in another thread where someone suggested defragging,
and I gave the same link to that article. But, really, in both of my
posts, I was actually posting as a bit of "devil's advocate". I
actually run PerfectDisk myself. But, I don't really know what
performance difference it really makes--maybe it does, maybe not. I
just don't know.
But, PerfectDisk has a comparison to Diskeeper 9. I believe that the
Windows defrag is a lite version of Diskeeper. PerfectDisk's test
(which just might be biased...) after 3 passes with Diskeeper, the
benchmark actually showed a tiny decrease in performance! But with
PerfectDisk, it showed about a 50% increase in performance after just
one pass. Though I don't doubt PerfectDisk could be better, I find
this amount of difference between Diskeeper and PerfectDisk a little
hard to believe. But, here is the article if you like, as a PDF:

If your disk's really fragmented it'll give Windows
>fits, at least in my experience. (Bad cases are really bad, like
>deleting a small file taking 30+ seconds.)
