[X4U] Defrag utility for Tiger

[Steve Martin]

I guess you didn't read what the original poster said...

" At first, it would take about 30 minutes to import a 90-120 minute  
movie into iMovie, now it takes a couple of hours.  I am thinking it  
is a fragmentation issue."

For that type of application, he may very well be right and if it  
cuts a couple of hours to 30 minutes, that would be a significant  
performance gain.
