Not in the situation being discussed, a single physical drive
either partitioned with just one partition or with a number of
partitions. The rate at which a drive gets fragmented depends
on the amount of free space on the drive, with a shortage
of free space making the problem significantly worse.

Taint necessarily true either with a decent defragger which
doesnt mindlessly move static files around. Any defragger
takes longer on a partition thats short of free space.

Your doubt are your problem too.
