The guy who wrote fsanalyze (sdti!mjy) also wrote a program to 
unfragment disks.  It's a big win.  I don't know the current status of 
the program or distribution.  

Actually, I've never understood why the kernel didn't have some 
locking support that would allow a daemon to unfragment the disk 
during idle times.
