   Yes, B.A.D. does work and the speed improvement is really noticeable.
BUT....

   Here's a word of warning:  BACKUP YOUR HARDDRIVE!!!!!!!!!!

   If you're like me and have a 1000 with that flaky 1.3 problem
   and the system crashes during the hour it takes to BAD the drive,
   just about everything is rendered useless.  Stuff that has gone
   through is o.k.  the most recently processed stuff is visible
   but cursed like a D&D ring or sword.  Stuff that hasn't been
   processed has gone to the pile of lost things that you get
   back when you die.  Need I say more?
