One half of my hard drive was obviously terribly defragmented. My problem was to simply get optimization to work at all. Neither the Diskwarrior or the Norton CD with Speed disk would boot, giving me an ERROR 11 message.
I need optimization to work on my hard drive, just like anyone else, at one time or another, especially since I am deleting and creating gigantic 10 or 20 gig DV files. Without that option available I feel my system maintenence is incomplete. I'm sure you understand.
Check this out from Norton:
"You cannot boot your new G4/800 or G4/667 Titanium PowerBook from the NUM 7.0, NAVM 8.0, NSW for Mac 2.0, or NIS for Mac 2.0 CD. When you attempt to boot from a bootable CD for any Symantec Macintosh product, you see a type 11 error message. "
So perhaps I will save some owners of the new 800/667 some hair pulling; Booting Norton Utility 7 from the CD will not work with the new models; you will get an error message. See link:

The solution is burning a disk copy of Norton: see link:

I have burned a bootable CD and have optimized my hard drive fully.
So although it was a bit of a work around, OSX is looking quite a bit better to me now.
I am surprised this has not cropped up with any other new PB DVI users.
