PerfectDisk handles defragmentation ot the file system.  PerfectCache caches
the file system.  There may be some advantages on faster virtualized hardware
but how much would depend on your circumstances.  As for optimizing RMS files,
there can be quite a performance hit with some indexed files; especially, the
files that have been in existence for a long time and see lots of new records
added and old records deleted.
