Just wondering... Does Vista's defragmenter appear to be any faster than XP's defragmenter? Or are they still living in the past with an extremely slow algorithm?

Hmm, according to Wikipedia, Vista has improved the GUI defragmenter by allowing low priority defragmentation and scheduled defragmentation; plus it does not defragment files if it has fragments larger than 64 MB when using the GUI. But the article does not say if it performs any faster if there was no 64 MB fragment restriction (this feature reduces the disk space needed when doing a normal defrag, but would also speed up the process if there were many large files on the drive).
I have no idea why they removed the selection option, but it really irritates me when I want to defrag one of my external HDDs.

I don't know or care about the speed of the defrag, since all of my machines are scheduled to do daily background defrags starting at 12am, and they're always done before I'm awake.
