It is interesting to pit the various "deframenters" against each other.
For example, Vopt and Norton's SD seem to use completely opposite notions
of what is optimum.  Use one or the other first and then use the second one.
The supposedly optimum disk is seen as being all messed up by the second one.
and it takes forever for it to redo the work of the first one!  Quite 
hilarious.  Vopt is definitely the quickest.  SD puts all the directories
first which many prefer.  PCT Compress is the most sophisticated and 
"careful" (though someone here did mention a bad experience with it).

I have no recommendations to make because I don't think they are all that
important (unless your hardrive is a real slug).
