- This is how an OPTIMISER works....
- When you write files to a disk, the computer allocates x amount of space.
- This works fine, until you come to delete a file and put another on.
-
- EXAMPLE.
- You write a 100byte file then delete it. You then try to
- write two 60byte files. The first 60 byte file fits in fine, but instead of
- the second squeezing in, the first 40 bytes are fitted, then the next 20
- bytes are put elsewhere on the disk.
- This happens to all files, and sooner or later you have bits of
- files everywhere. This really slows down loading. An optimiser reads all the
- bits, then puts them on to another disk in ONE whole piece. This will mean
- quicker loading etc....
