In a commercial environment ( where productive time is a valuable asset ) then defrag can make a difference, especially in the area of employee satisfaction D I am not suggesting that you can turn this into a general statement, but you can not neglect the findings either.Īll I am saying is that in my personal environment, I don't care that much as long as my machine performs well. That indicates that on this particular MB, we achieved an increase in performance ( of which the loading of spreadsheet is the only relevant one ) When we tested defrag on the MB, we had the following situation: MB 2.26 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB/5400 rpm, OS X 10.5.8, 7% fragmentationģ x cold boot to logon screen, no apps loaded at startup = 38 seconds, after defrag 26 secondsģ x load openoffice ( cold boot ) = 12 seconds, after defrag 9ģ x load a 7280 KB spreadsheet ( cold boot ) = 18 seconds, after defrag 12 seconds As such, one of the tests was a defrag on our test MB.ĭuring these 8 months a lot of apps and data have been installed on the MB and removed, 4 x OS's upgrades, you name it. ( we use PerfectDisk )įor 8 months now, we are investigating to replace the winxp machines with MB's and we are running all sorts of tests to assess the economic and techical feasibility of switching. Frequent defragging the disk is required to keep the system running at top speed. We currently have a sales-force on the road with winxp machines running an application using a MySQL database and lots of large spreadsheets, which change daily. Maybe I can quickly share some ' live ' results on defrag
