Sequential reads & writes are still much faster on an SSD than random ones, and you're not going to significantly impact the life of any modern SSD by doing this. Why would you not want to defrag?
I read an article a couple of weeks back on this, apparently they did run some tests a few days before launch (but not all the tests they wanted to run, and only last-minute) and the tests indicated the system could not handle the expected load at all. They went ahead and released it anyway...
Yeah, I've got a few friends who have swapped to e-cigs pretty happily. It's a lot cheaper, and you still get the rather potent nootropic benefits of nicotine - without the carcinogenic effects of everything else in tobacco :P.
Have been thinking about writing a small Chrome/Opera plugin to snapshot an open tab in its current state, which would avoid a few of the issues with a service like FreezePage (e.g. could snapshot pages that have been modified by javascript, snapshot pages behind login-walls, etc.).
Because benchmarking for your actual, application/project-specific performance requirements can't be easily done with a trivial, generic one-liner script and compared for EPeen with other so-called 'sysadmins'.
