Defragmenting?

Interesting question - if Panther apparently defragments any files that are
20 MB or less whenever they are read, would that mean that updating the
locate database would more or less defragment your disk? (Naturally, this
wouldn't defragment large files, but would it, in essence, be defragmenting
as it's reading all those files?)
