	Conclusion

	Defragmentation on HFS+ volumes should not be necessary at
	all, or worthwhile, in most cases, because the system seems
	to do a very good job of avoiding/countering fragmentation.

	It is risky to defragment anyway: What if there's a power
	glitch? What if the system crashes? What if the defragmenting
	tool has a bug? What if you inadvertently reboot? In some
	cases, you could make the situation worse by defragmenting.

get a bigger drive. if you do video/audio/imaging, get a scratch 
disk. treating the symptoms (read: using a "defrag tool") does not 
cure the disease.
