Optimize Preferences |
If this option is enabled, iDefrag will sort files within a particular class according to the sort order specification from the class definition in the class set file.
When enabled, this option causes iDefrag to read a significant amount of additional information into memory when performing an Optimize or a Full Defrag, typically doubling the memory required for defragmentation. The benefit is that this option can provide a significant performance improvement for your system when defragmentation is complete.
If this option is enabled and the Optimize algorithm finds that there is insufficient free space to move a fragment to its correct location, it will simply skip it and move on to the next fragment.
If the option is not enabled and the Optimize algorithm finds itself in that situation, it will instead abort with an error message.
