The biggest performance boost I got off it was when I finally uninstalled it. ;-) Diskeeper's on-the-fly defragmentation is just marketing bullshit and IMHO slows down the system in certain tasks instead of speeding it up - especially if you have a virus scanner. Then, Diskeeper doesn't have any particularly smart file placement or free space consolidation algorithm. Nowadays I defragment my drives using a combination of JkDefrag and from time to time PerfectDisk, which is twice as good as Diskeeper and twice as cheap...

But it works when the screensaver kicks in. I think that is a better solution than having it constantly working in the background. And I bet most techies here have their computers on most time of the day anyway ;-) JKDefrag can do automatic defragmentation. But it works when the screensaver kicks in.

But I think I will still stay with Diskeeper for my main defrag tool. Its automatic defragmentation is very convenient. Not bad for a free utility.
