Hmm. Might want to do some research before you start flinging mud.

  Apple says defragging is unnecessary *most* of the time. Not all the 
time. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=17933 . See 
also http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25668 , which also 
notes that defragging might be beneficial.

Doing video? See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93699 , 
which also suggests defragging.
Recording audio? In iMovie? 
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42964 .


So trust Apple. Defrag your disk. Sometimes.
