The effect is doing compaction using disk express is definitely measurable.
On my 20 MB NON-SCSI HD-20 on a Mac+, the time to start the Finder the
first time (before it might get into cache) went down by a measurable amount,
although not too drammatically (I forget the exact number).
The time to check the HD-20 when rebooting the Mac after a "surprise"
power-off went down by about 66% (from 1.5 min to 30 sec), if I
recall correctly.
