Speed disk, standalone, set for 512 MB RAM, nice... very very nice.
Checking a graphical representation of a drive that SD considers
'Light' in terms of frags, is mind-boggling, looks like the file
system blew itself to smithereens. But apps aren't noticeably 'sped
up' as a result of a de-frag... other anomalies, and slower reboots,
etc, vanish, though.
One other thing. After moving the files off, a la retrospect, and
then moving the whole lot back to a pristine original drive, you then
have plenty of 'free' unfragged drive space, and the same fragmented
files you started off with.
