There were only two for Panther that I liked: SpeedDisk and iDefrag.  I 
don't know if SpeedDisk works with Tiger, certainly Norton Utilities will 
not be updated for use with Tiger.

So that leaves iDefrag, which was a disaster when it was first released, 
but which, after steady refinement, is now the premier defragmentation 
utility for OS X:
