Vista - Great Suggestion for Disk Defragmenter

There should be an advanced option that allows the users to change the speed
or basically the performance quality of the Disk Defragmenter according to
whatever needs or desires that the user may have.

I personally hate seeing the defragmenter run slow because I usually use it
when I am not using my computer and it is very dragging to see it take
forever and not working as hard as it could.

There are several ways to do this, I think. I've never tried, but you should
be able to boost the priority of an individual process. I know you can
change Vista's foreground/background process priority, which might help
too...

Or you could invest in Diskeeper, which is a great defragmenter...

Another good defrag option is PerfectDisk from Raxco Software.
