You will get some fragmentation from profile loads / unloads, temporary files,
local spooler files, logfiles etc.
Just 'cos there shouldn't be any true data being accessed, doesn't mean the OS
doesn't do a fair amount, and that it won't cause fragmentation - and this is
the scenario where if it's going to, fragmentation is likely to cause you most
impact.
