Maybe so, but as people will remember from my tests on real world
machines - reading all files on the hard drive - the speed
improvements I saw were more in the 5-7% range.
I usually tell my clients 10% & that if they just remember to defrag
once in a while that should be good enough & that it doesn't have to
be scheduled. If they claim that their memory is bad then I tell
them one can't do any harm by defragging whenever they can't remember
when they did it last so don't lose any sleep over it.
