Defrag - sorting by folder & filenames.

Does it help; do you agree with this?

Unless the program pulls files in a very specific order, it's garbage. The point of having disk defragment routines is for contigious files period. If there is an optimized way to load a program, IE XP bootup, then you can yield gains in disk IO.

Other than a very fixed IO pattern across a disk, this is not going to help anymore than windows defragmentation.

Yeah I just couldn't figure it out myself, unless w/ FS2004 if for example all scenery for one area have similar filenames (ie. numbers). But I'm not sure if they do since I haven't seen a FS2004 install. I guess other games and apps could be that way too.
