Issue 2500: Have our own contig implementation
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2500

New issue report by [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Regarding bug http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=265

Issue:
The way the file 'User Data\Safe Browsing' is extended on Windows leads it
to being quite fragmented. On systems with slow disk seek times, low free
disk space or already highly fragmented drive, the whole system performance
hit can be quite important.

Fix:
- Implement the algorithm discussed in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363911(VS.85).aspx
- This could be used for disk cache too.

Caveats:
- The algorithm to fix this is relatively sensitive. Badly implemented, it
can cause more harm than good.
- This shouldn't not be done on flash-based drives. Maybe measuring the
seek time could help detect and skip these drives.
- This requires administrative privilege. On restricted user account, this
would not be executed. Note that this is the default on Vista with UAC
enabled but Vista has by default a defragmentation scheduled every 3 weeks.
