    ive read that defragging boot files increases performance. I've tried this using Diskeeper and I do notice a significant difference. However, how often am I supposed to defrag the boot files?

    Only the Professional version can defrag boot files.

    Download TuneXP 1.5 - you can defrag and rearrange the boot files in that program!! Took a nice amount of time off my boot time :D

    Got it down to around 21 seconds now... :p
