Ran a boot defrag then defrag with all options enabled. End result added about 10 seconds to my boot time (Vista Home Premium). Ran Vista built in defrag a couple of times. Boot time restored to normal. I have found that all 3rd party defrag tools extend my boot time (PD2008, Disk Keeper, JF Defrag). Frankly I now just leave the std Vista defrag tool to run once per day at 4PM. This keeps things stable and fast/quick boot times for free!

It is very good indeed, in fact I ended up paying the license fee I liked it that much. The only downside I've noticed when compared to PerfectDisk is that the hard drive tends to get fragmented again slightly sooner with Puran than if I do a defrag with PD. That could possibly be down to my PC though and may not be typical for everyone. Paul, I’ve been trying out Puran Defrag recently and can confirm what Eric says.
