It is a myopic technician who does not believe a problem simply because they have not personally experienced that particular problem.

In the presence of other technicians who report that they have not only witnessed said problem, but have corrected that problem so many times that they are quite certain of the process due to cause and effect observations resulting in the empirical, it is always a good idea to at least file said observation away for future use, just in case.

The defrag situation and realtracks does seem to happen more often on XP driven machines, but John and myself are not the only two who have reported fixing the stuttering realtrack problem by doing the defrag dance, there is a recent thread on the BB main forum right now where the fellow finally took my advice to defrag after not thinking that was the solution, and once again, he reported back that it pretty much solved his stuttering realtracks problem.

If doing the defrag hadn't solved the problem for me, I would not have started telling others to try it.

I'm guessing that, since the beginning of Realtracks, I've recommended this procedure at least somewhere around twenty times or more just on this one bb forum, with the majority reporting a solve.

There is now ample evidence that, at least for some number of users, defragging works.
