Defragmentation - oh, joy!
Jul. 17th, 2009 09:35 pmI'm defragmenting my one and-a-half -year old computer for the first time ever. Looks like I'm going to have to leave the defragger running overnight. That'll teach me to do this more often.
Seriously, my C: drive's fragmentation was 33%. I'm by no means an expert on fragmentation and don't know how bad exactly that is, but I'm guessing it's pretty bad.
I'm hoping to see a dramatic improvement in performance once this is done. I'm also going to be defragging much more frequently. One and a half years is an eternity in computer years.
ETA: defragmentation complete, and I actually think performance HAS improved. I'll have to get all the five hundred programs I usually run simultaneously running to be sure, of course.
