I have some Windows 98 and XP systems on which I read and write large
datafiles. I am wondering if there are any techniques to avoid or
slow disk fragmentation (as opposed to running a defrag utility after
eventual performance degradation).
For example, if I were to set aside 10% of disk space to remain free
and unused, might that have some beneficial effect?
