[QUOTE="giulio, post: 378150, member: 28677"] Reading through this post, it looks like I'm a big weenie. But I'm really not trying to be a jerk. Here are the results, before and after doing a system update with 'optimizing system': [CODE]File fragmentation check begun on Volume "MacMini" at 9:33:52 AM on Monday, April 23, 2007 File fragmentation results summary: Total files with fragmented fork: 358. Total files with non-sequential forks: 54.[/CODE] I quit every program, and ran the update, which had me restart. Running the test again: [CODE]File fragmentation check begun on Volume "MacMini" at 12:03:38 PM on Monday, April 23, 2007 File fragmentation results summary: Total files with fragmented fork: 354. Total files with non-sequential forks: 54.[/CODE] So it looks like 'Optimizing System" does not equal "and defragmenting files". It's probably doing something else, more important. This test doesn't answer the question "does it matter". I don't have a benchmarking program so I can't answer that one. [/QUOTE]
