Your harddisk seeks, everything is slow.

So does that then mean that my options are;
1. Defrag= ment, so there is less seeking
2. Get an SSD

Since 2 is too expen= sive for a decent size drive, is there anything i can do about 1 without a = backup and restore operation? Or will the fragmentation be very small on re= iser3 anyway (i mount with notail) so I should just accept things as they a= re.
