That makes sense in a way, given how big and cheap storage has become. If they get the coding right to ignore small blanks until a suitable file will fit that could certainly improve layout.

Thats the point i was trying to make (if a bit indirectly) It seems unusual that Microsoft is still using a file system that tries to cram everything into the smallest space possible when hard-drive are so large now-a-days.
My macbook is now on the better side of 2 years old and still starts up in well under a minute, its never had any 'maintenance' or been reinstalled; the only thing i've ever really done with it is updates and I upgraded to snow leopard (update not fresh install) about a year back
i'll record a video of the reboot in a minute
