Hello,
I would be interestd in what Apple sent you for partition information.
What they are trying to do is have you optimize your hard drive, meaning re-arrange your files on the hard drive so that they are fragment free, and nicely laid out for the OS to work with. While this can speed some things up on your computer, it is not a complete necessity.
Windows comes with an internal disk defragmenter and Linux uses a file system (ext3) that minimizes fragmentation. It has always been a third-party addition for Mac OS (7,8,9,X) to have a defragmenter around.
Since going to X 2 years ago now or so, I have not defragmented my hard drive. I am not under any pressure to do so in the future. I would leave it alone, and enjoy your Mac.
