It's a large block of static files. by Mischief Maker 10/25/2010, 1:24am PDT
After the bare essentials, I install files and programs in reverse order of likelihood of being patched or otherwise altered. This is why Firefox comes almost dead last. If I installed Firefox, followed by 4 gigs of pictures and movies of naked ladies, defragmenting after a firefox update would requires the system to move all 4 gigs of breast data around.

If instead the static block of nubile data precedes the frequently altered programs/files, way fewer files need to be moved after patches and updates. This makes defragmenting faster and cuts down Hard Drive wear and tear.

And for all the people shrieking, clawing the wallpaper, and head-butting holes in their walls because I'm using legacy drivers, running Windows XP, and not automating disc defrag: maybe you should try downloading a little porn to your computer to help you mellow the fuck out.
