No, we don't use the same cylinders. The files area is roughly defragmented because -- when you erase -- when we copy the files back, they're all defragmented (although not necessarily "optimized").

But, defragmenting doesn't necessarily mean "speed increase"... the OS is pretty good about keeping files pretty defragmented, and the hot files cache does a good job too...
