I have read this thread:

and now I want to try JkDefrag, but have some questions.
1. I use BootIt NG for disc images, and it would be great if my defragger moved all data towards the beginning of the disc. JkDefrag does this?
2. It has (too?) many features. Is this the most recommended?: {QUOTE-> Analyze, fixup, and fast optimization (default) <-QUOTE}
3. Is it possible/needed/unneeded to disable Windows XP defragger, or you just stop using it? (Silly question maybe)
If you use JkDefrag I guess you already know, but in case you dont:
{QUOTE-> Tip: Cleanup old junk from your harddisk before running JkDefrag.
Tip: Reboot before running JkDefrag. This will release files that are in use, so they can be defragged.
Tip: Stop your realtime virus scanner before running JkDefrag. Virus scanners check all disk activity, making defragmentation and optimization very slow.
Tip: Move the swapfile to another volume, reboot, defragment, and move the swapfile back. If you don't have a second volume then temporarily make the swapfile small, for example 100Mb.
Tip: If an application (for example a database) prevents certain files from being defragged then stop the application, run JkDefrag for the particular data directory only, and restart the application. <-QUOTE}
Is the increased speed the only advantage of stopping my Nod32 before defrag? If so I think I just leave Nod running. (If I was to stop Nod, then I also would have to disconnect from internet.)
