[muglo] Re: permission to defrag?

I tend to agree permissions and defrag are different issues.  When I  
was using a PC I use to defrag once a month but can't actually say  
that I remember a significant performance boost but that may be  
because I did it regularly and had lots of disk space.  The defrag  
was a job that would take hours I would schedule it as a overnight  
routine.  From what I understand OS X is suppose to do this type of  
maintenance on it's own when left on overnight but I really don't  
know for sure.  The speed of reading files may increase slightly by  
having a defragged drive but I doubt it makes a real life difference  
todays hardware is just exceptionally fast.
