No. The BIS is random access memory. If the system accesses the first location and then access the last location there is no delay or lag. On a hard drive the disc's head has to move to the new location, so there is a lag.

The same is true for SD and CF flash memory; random access memory. On the other hand, if you buy a microdrive CF card then you might want to defrag that, since it's a tiny rotating magnetic disc with a read/write head.
