The SUM utilities do OK, but they will not move locked files, the system file,
and sometimes won't move other files (for unknown reasons).  Disk Express
will completely defragment even the most fragemented hard drive.  Where as
the SUM utility needs to have enough free room still left on the HD to move
things.  Therefore, if your HD is full, and very fragmented only Disk Express
will help.  And all my experiences have been closer to 1 to 4 hours with Disk
Express, not even close to 20 minutes, but then fragemtation was at its worst.
