Well, I have used BAD succesfully and the result is a good speedup
BUT (a major but) If the program crashes at any point during
execution, the disk you're trying to optimize is toasted.  This
happened to me twice in a row on a 20meg harddrive and I almost
put the BAD disk in the food-processor and mailed it back to
the company.  That's my opinion and I think a number of people
would agree with me.
