It is not annoying per se. Owing to the general perversity of the
universe it only ever seems to ask to do it when I am shutting down
at the end of the work day and I am in a hurry. ;^(
What I want to do is to be able to force the optimization after I
have deleted / moved many files - that seems to be what causes the
inefficiency, but I can't say as it is a direct causal relationship
since some days when I think it must do it soon, it just won't.

Does optimization take so long that it is annoying?
I am using File Vault to encrypt my home folder. Periodically when
shutting down I am asked if I want to allow my home folder's space to
be optimized to gain space. Is there a way to force this action
after deleting / moving large amounts of data? The the OS just doing
a fsck on the file system such that I could do it myself from the
command line?
