Re: Registry & Defrag utilities

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Well, I already saw that one, in fact that one links to the article
that links to the forum thread that I mentioned above. And as with
that, there is a comparison of effects of different format parameters,
but there is no formal comparison that I can see of fragmented vs
defragmented performance.

Anyway not other than one sentence mentioning offhand a 30x speed
increase in the LOOXstore write speed of your Loox 720, but no details
or methodology - personally I think there has to be something else
going on than fragmentation to see a 30x difference.

Maybe I will knock something up to intentionally fragment a storage
card, so I can do some repeatable tests, now that you've got me
curious.

Interesting, any chance you could post a link, or is it something
you
haven't published? I searched your blog, and found a link to a
thread
that's supposed to contain quantitative results on this, but while
it
does link to an exhaustive set of tests comparing different format
parameters on several brands of card, I can't see any tests
comparing
before/after defragging, unless I'm being blind.

http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17921 is the
thread.

Even flash ROM's benefit a LOT from defragging.

I know it's hard to believe at first - neither did I believe this
before I've done some really extensive, quantitive benchmarks.
