[X4U] Experience with TechTool Pro 4 Disk Optimize

[lists3-200402]

i'm certainly no fan of defrag utilities in osx...os9 is a different 
matter. however, some of my marketing-hype-driven clients are asking 
me to look into idefrag. i'm close to purchasing a copy to test at a 
client shop. the developer is very active and responds quickly to 
customer inquiries. i asked the developer for a command line tool i 
can use to run idefrag at night...would you believe we're in the 
middle of an email thread discussing the pros/cons and 
implimentation?!

i'd look into idefrag...check out the comments at versiontracker 
first though. personally, i don't bother to defrag, but then that's 
because i simply don't see the need and i'm not driven by 
marketing-hype.
