The Spacer

Speeds up your hard drive access to a significant degree. You begin with an empty hard drive and it writes a large "trash" file to however many megabytes of space you wish. You then copy your permanent files to the drive and finally delete the trash file. This leaves a large empty space at the beginning of the drive. TOS will look in this space first and write any files to it.
