I understand this may be unavoidable but maybe a dev is unaware of it: The relavants: Dell E6410 - medium build (4gb) Win 7 64-bit Defraggler 2.03.282 Winamp 5.601 What happens is I'm listening to music and hit the analyze button it causes everything to stutter for .5-1.5 seconds on and off untill the analysis is complete. The mouse locks up too kind of skipping around. Same with the first part of the defrag process (building file list). It's the equivalent of a new driver not knowing how to work the brakes/gas pedal properly. I have defraggler set to backround priority, I'm wondering if that only applies to the actual defragging process? It seems like something that *could* be made to work so that it doesnt cause the equivalent of harware interupts (remember that back in the day? opening your cd-rom could unfreeze your locked up machine)- Speaking of wich I could swear I heard a microsoft dev saying the new vista/7 kernel was re-written to avoid lockups and de-prioritize hardware interupts but it feels the same.

Exactly, I think he wants to be able to do them sequentially. I'm happy with that, but if piriform could detect multicore setups and run more than one at a time that'd be awesome.

I've let it continue to run and I want to make this clear I do not think this is a "slow" defrag, I think it simply isnt displaying a count of things correctly. Thats the damage its done since my last post. It's still going along at a nice clip.

I noticed defragller said it was down to 2 files amounting to 500k~ left to defragment yet kept loading up other files to defrag. It seems some files are getting defraged without being in the list? I don't really care if there are some files I cant manually defragment, but I would like as accurate a countdown and numerical display as possible. Here is an example, defraggler went on to defrag hundreds of files despite only showing <20 there. Great product otherwise.

I have to say I'm attracted to piriform products simple, efficient style. The last thing they need is eye candy, and I would argue against even that.
