Java Forum / Tools / August 2005Advanced Defragging
I wonder if anyone has come across tools that defrag the system region on an NTFS disk, perhaps returning excess space to general use. I wondered if there is anything that would tidy up the directory to make it faster.  SignatureBush crime family lost/embezzled $3 trillion from Pentagon. Complicit Bush-friendly media keeps mum.

It optimizes files and directories online, and the MFT and page file at boot. Unfortuately, Executive Software has started charging for the home edition ... it used to be free, now US$20 ... but even the more powerful professional edition is only US$50.

I wrote a mini review of various defraggers I have tried, including DiskKeeper. I still have not found one I would consider acceptable.

I still have not found one I would consider acceptable. Since I'm still using version 4 of PerfectDisk, I haven't experienced the oddities they have apparently added to the new improved versions. I'm glad I didn't "upgrade"! As you noted, the first defrag can be time-consuming but subsequent runs are typically very fast since there is much less rearranging to do. I've always felt that ensuring that every single file was contiguous was unnecessary. If EXEs and DLLs were defragged and data files contained no fragments smaller than, say, 16 or 32MB, that would probably be good enough, and much faster to accomplish.

I think perfect defragging is less important that putting rarely used files off in an attic. Putting files of roughly the same last examined age close to each other is a good way of clumping files likely to be used together.
