I have been using Diskeeper for years. I tried the previous version of
PerfectDisk but due to some annoyance or issue, did not switch.

However, I tried the eval version of the latest PerfectDisk and my file
loading and app loading performance very noticeably improved. This was
on a system already regularly defragged by Diskeeper.

This time, I'm going to pay Raxcom, buy Perfectdisk, and delete
Executive Software's Diskeeper.
