[muglo] Pro, huh?

Thanks, Karl. I was looking at TechTool Deluxe, which doesn't have the
feature, and it didn't occur to me to see if there was a studlier
version from the same stable. I know there's long been controversy over
whether defragging serves any purpose at all. I suppose it hardly did,
back in the days of relatively small hard drives, but it seems to me to
be an ever better idea as storage sizes increase at a rate far faster
than processing speed does. The difference was certainly obvious to me
on my last Mac, under OS 9. The more places the processor has to access
to retrieve everything it needs, the longer it's bound to take. And
it's no longer like looking for a few hundred discontiguous paragraphs
from here and there in an encyclopedia; with today's megagigabyte
drives, it's more like trying to hunt them out when they're scattered
through the whole blamed Library of Congress.
