I seriously want to work on stuff right now, but I can't. I've got a major optimization script running on a disk defrag program, and not only is it tying up my external drive with all my samples, it's using a good chunk of CPU power.

HOWEVER, things should be pretty sweet once it's done. It's set to physically rearrange files on the drive based on what directory they're in, so all of my samples will be very close together, meaning a lot less drive head movement during DFD sample streaming. It also has a neat optimization feature that fragments the files. ...that sounds like it goes against the entire principle of a defragger, but there's a reason for it. Instead of keeping the file contiguous, if it encounters an unmovable file, it will split the file so that one fragment ends right before the unmovable file and the next fragment starts right after the unmovable file. That way, even though the file's fragmented, the drive head isn't moving at all.

The only problem is that it's taking for goddamn ever! It is a 1TB drive, though... *shrugs*
