Defragging iPods for speed?

According to this post over at iPodHacks, somebody ran DiskWarrior on his iPod and it sped everything up. Of course, the post is from January 2004, and its talking about doing this in Jaguar. Also, according to the post, he claims to have defragged the iPod, which considering it's a Mac-formatted iPod, shouldn't have much of an effect at all, due to the way the file structure is handled. Even then, as Damien pointed out to me in chat, DiskWarrior doesn't defrag hard drives, so most likely what he did was rebuild the volume's directory and that's what sped everything up. Alsoft does have a disk defragmenter product called PlusOptimzer, but the user doesn't say if he ran this or not.

Looks like somebody dug pretty deep for this one. Give it a shot, if you like, but it's not defragging and it's pretty old news.
