Neither have I encountered one so "smart" that its performance wouldn't degrade under cases of extreme fragmentation. At the same time, it's been years since the defragmentation utility in Norton reported severe fragmentation on any volume on my Mac or my DOS machines, and when I've used it (except for the first time on any given box), it's always recommended "minimal" defragmentation, while I've always overridden it to select "maximum" defragmentation. -- JHHL
