Superfetch is still useful, as is most disk caching techniques. SSDs
are fast, but they aren't nearly as fast as system RAM.
ReadyBoost is obviously not useful, nor is defragmenting in the vast
majority of cases (and even when it might yield a performance boost,
until the TRIM situation gets worked out, it's likely not beneficial,
and worse, may severely shorten your drive's lifespan if done too
frequently -- In other words, don't defragment)
