Can or should I scan disk and defrag my memory stick?

Ok well I have had a few problems with my memory stick (which is a legitimate scan disk 1 gig card). So I ran error checking on it with it plugged into my computer (while still in the psp just usb connect turned on). It seemed to help and even found some fragments I was then able to delete. The main problem it gave me was it had a corrupt file that I couldn't delete as it kept giving me an error and refusing to allow me to delete the file. However after running error checking I was able to delete it and some fragments found. Everything now seems to be working fine. This saved me from having to format and reinstall everything to the stick.

Now though I just wondered about defragging the memory stick itself. Not that it's really fragmented I guess. I just wonder if it will reorganize the files in sequencal (sp?) clusters like my hard drive. I guess I'm just wondering if it would improve performance any? Now I know the memory stick isn't like a HD in that it has a rotating drive and a arm to read the data off it and would have to hop and skip around for pieces of data. So defragging probably won't make a difference. I just kinda wondered if I could or should defrag my stick.
