You're kidding, right?  I have an H-P '286 machine at work with an 80 Meg
hard drive, and using PC Tools, it takes no more than 10 minutes to 
optimize the whole thing (if I don't have it clear the empty blocks).

In fact, it's so fast that I routinely run it once or twice a day while I
stretch or walk around the room.

(Yes, I know that running it often makes less work for the program and 
therefore makes it run faster, but it was still quick the first time I
ran it.)
