Suggestion to speedup Defraggler

My suggestion is to replace full defrag with 50M/64M quick defrag then regular defrag to increase speed

Please elaborate. I am not following you.

Doing 50M/64M quick defrag before Regular defrag reduces the amount of work that regular defrag has to do

what does 50M/64M mean?

Fragments smaller than 50/64 Megabytes

this option is available on --> settings--> options--> quick defrag

My suggestion is to replace Default Defrag with a combination of Quick Defrag then Regular Defrag. Quick Defrag is faster than Regular Defrag because it does fragments smaller than 50Mb/64Mb. and reduces the amount of work that Regular Defrag has to do. so I do it first then Regular Defrag to speed up Defraggler.

And what would that achieve? Regular defrag is slow because the algorithm starts to do something weird while shuffling small data and not optimizing cpu use. And this is a long shot...

What I meant was that doing Quick Defrag first then Regular Defrag for fragments smaller than 50Mb/64Mb reduces amount of work that Regular Defrag has to do so it makes Regular Defrag faster

I am not entirely sure about your statement being true. I think regular defrag just chokes on the "filling gaps" part. I am not sure though.

I am saying this because I think regular defrag will still take A LONG TIME even if you invoke it on an already defragmented partition.

PS - I am sorry but I have made a test that proves that your theory isn't true. I just did a quick defrag on a 400GB+ data partition.

0 fragmented files

0 fragmentation

little free space gaps

and it choked about 10% doing what it seemed folder processing (little hd activity) AT SNAIL PACE.

So... it doesn't work...

Ok you win. folder processing needs to be way faster or removed for my idea to work.

Hmm. Not sure about what it is what makes the process slow. I am not a programmer.
