How much improvement you get from regularly running my
Unfrag routine is dependent on how you use your tick
file. I'm an equities trader and save all ticks on
all stocks and indexes for 6 weeks. This results in
about 30 Mb being deleted and added per day and the
tick file gets *very* fragmented. So for me, it is
importantant to run Unfrag weekly.
