not a problem, the disadvantage is that if you wanted to make it all contiguous you'd have to drop the DB, defrag the hdd then recreate the db larger than it was before. but that would require a decent amount of downtime(a few hours depending on your server) and enough storage some place to back up your current data so it could be restored. also on mass inserts, i've found it usefull to drop the indices and recreate them after the insert, if you can do it all at once. you should see a noticable performance improvement if you try that, doing a lot of inserts and updates to an index can(sometimes) corrupt it quite easily, thus slowing down performance for any action on that table, or anything that is related to that table.
