one small tip
Some time ago I need defrag old 486 with 16MB memoryused for
Ineternet. After disbling all background programs and screensaver,
Defrag starst again after 10%, as tehare is disk activity. After some
work i find taht it is Deafrag itself or acually windows swaping some
data to disk. I put swap file into another partition and defragmentin
was quick.
With some work i find out that if theare is only one partition fixsed
size swap file is big help for defrag.
