Only if it's actually fragmented in the first place.

Some of our old NT machines have 2GB HDs that are permanently 
fragmented. But most of the new systems have huge 80GB drives that are 
about 10% full. Fragmentation is minimal to non-existent. Sure, I defrag 
them now and then. But there's no noticable performance difference. 
Hell, even defragging the fileserver doesn't produce a noticable 
performance difference. (Doesn't even slow down noticably while it's 
doing it.) I guess the network latency is higher, or the RAID system 
compensates, or something.

When you have a massively, massively fragmented drive, it slows to a 
crawl. Other than that, it's really not a big deal.

How in the name of God would that know that?

Besides, all the NT systems have Diskeeper Lite installed. >:-)
