I agree with you, as far as desktop users are concerned. The way the article described the function of the directory you would be editing, it was only a preload function during start, as far as leaving the program partially cached for later during regular use. If you don't shut down, I believe the system leaves a portion of the program ready to open again as needed for quicker use. Thus the reduced started programs would be come irelevant between starts. Of course, thats as I understand it, I very well may not have a clue what I'm talking about.

I also agree with doing defrag, you can set your computer to do that once per week, while you are sleeping.
