#PERFECTDISK VS IOBIT SMART DEFRAG FREE#
One is to uninstall your page file-reboot-and then reinstall, and the other, which is my favorite, is a small program created and coded by Mark Russinovich called aptly "Pagedfrg" and is now a part of "Sysinternals"-which was bought out by a company you may have heard of-Microsoft! Pagedfrg is a free program that does exactly what it says it will do! Strange, in this day and age, to find a program that is coded extremely well and does exactly what it is supposed to do. By the way, if your Page file gets messed up (fragmented), there are two good ways to handle that. Some defragmenting programs will do this and it is basically the same thing as "Boot Optimization".

For "Boot Optimization", try defragmenting in "SAFE" mode. It will Defrag and Optimize and then shut down my System-no need for me to wait around until it's done. My favorite feature-I can program SmartDefrag to do its thing and go to bed.

UD does it also, but the nicest feature of both programs is that they use the Windows Task Scheduler which is built into Windows anyway. You want a "small footprint" efficiently coded program that both defrags AND optimizes-when you ask it to-or when you SCHEDULE it to defrag. That's too much bloat and too many resources slowing you down. I will tell you may favorite feature in a moment, but I can tell you that if you just want to keep your HOME system clean and as fast as possible, there is no need for an "always on" program-one that constantly is defragging in the background. To date, in my experience, the most efficient Defragging programs are the FREE ones, being the free version of ULtimateDefrag, JKDefrag and-Iobit's SmartDefrag. Then there is O&O Defrag, and PerfectDisk, and Diskeeper and many, many others.

The program that claims to do this best is Ultimate Defrag (both free and paid), however I had many questions with UD and the Company refuses to answer them unless I pay for the full version.

The better programs do it in different ways, but the attempt is the same-to sort out all the RED M&M's and to ALSO put them in order by number. Keep in mind that there are still 400,000 M&M's of different colors that have to be dealt with! In enters "Optimization". This is good because all the RED M&M's are now on one section of your disk and the track head has much less seeking to do to find them-but your track head STILL has to sort through all 100,000 RED M&M's to find the numbers it is looking for because they are not in order. A standard run of the mill Defragmenting program will indeed sort out the RED M&M's, but not in order. Your task? Find all 100,000 RED M&M's and lay them out on the table (your disk) in order from #1 to #100,000.

Each RED M&M is numbered 1 thru 100,000 and of course they are all mixed up (Fragmented) in the bowl. Consider you have a huge punch bowl filled with 500,000 M&M's. The question is always the same-which ones work the best? Paid or free? In some cases the answer can only be found through extensive testing, while in other cases the answers are staring us right in the face. Similar to Spyware programs, there are a ton of Defragmenting programs. Use "Normal Sense" (Common sense isn't common anymore)
