I think the performance gained by placing system files in the middle of the 
disk would be negligible.  In fact, I rarely notice a performance difference 
my disk when it's fragmented and when it isn't.  I use SUM-II to defragment 
my drive.  Although it doesn't place files optimally as you suggest, it does 
pack everything so all the data on the disk is contiguous.  I think it does a 
good job.
