That's qutie interesting, and I guess the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
Question now is what can we do with the information? I mean obviously we all like to keep our apps running as quickly as possible, but at the same time I'm not ever going to recommend to a client that they quit defragging their hard-drives because if they do it'll slow down their VFP applications....they'd look at me like I was nuts and I'd start hearing more of the old 'fox is dead or should be' stuff again.
I haven't used it in a few years, but I wonder if
http://www.diskeeper.com/diskeeper/diskeeper.asp allows you to select only certain parts of your drive to defrag, or perhaps we're doomed to put our data on a seperate partition?
And who's the bozo that came up with this scheme anyway? I mean MS provides us with a OS tool to speed up our hard-drives and help increase the life-span of our hardware, and at the same time the same tool from MS screws us on something like this? grrrrrr talk about shooting yerself in the foot...geeze!
