One more thing: the big deal about DoubleSpace/DriveSpace is not the compression itself, which could of course increase your free space, but mostly comes from the variable-sector-per-cluster stuff: you get lots of extra free space by cutting the space occupied by the many, say, less than 1KB text f

Here is the explanation: The old methods start by going through the disk from start to finish. For every cluster it determines which file it has to put there. The file that is in the way is moved to a different location and the file that should be there is put in that location. This is very sl
