Auslogics Disk Defragmenter and Windows Disk Defragmenter

[Zylstra]

I recently downloaded Auslogics Disk Defragmenter, and came up with the following question:

How is it faster than Windows Defragmenter if it uses the same defragmenting engine as Windows Defragmenter does?
?
EDIT: And does anyone know the command line options?

Thanks!

It's more fun, maybe it seems faster.

It certainly is faster
(Thats why I am using it right now)
But if you defragment using it, and re-defragment, it takes a while to do it again

Yeah,I didn't get why the 're-defragmentation<---lol
took so long.

So, it's faster than Windows Defragmenter the first time you use it but not necessarily so for subsequent defragmentation, right?  That does seem odd.

It is odd the re-defragmenting of the original deframenting
is slow.Wonder why?

Still keeping it though.Zylstra found me a new toy to use.LOL

Well
Try this:
Run Windows Defragmenter (in XP)
Wait for it to completely finish
and restart it again

It takes FOREVER!

(This does not happen in older versions of Windows, like 98)

My hard drive is partitioned.  My OS partition (Win XP) will defrag with Windows Defragmenter is less than 3 minutes if the last defragmentation was, oh, maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago, and I haven't installed or uninstalled programs to that partition.  My Docusments folder is on a different partition; I do not save data files on the OS partition; it's just for Windows and programs.

Doing a repeat defragmentation immediately after a normal defragmentation runs quicker for me, not slower.  Likewise, none of my other partitions normally take more than a few minutes to defrag.

Well,I have found XP to be a happy camper when
it is fragmented.

Xp likes to be confused.
