It works because it frees up clear blocks of space on the SSD for sequential writes.  Nothing to do with reads.  Benchmarks here if you don't beleive me:

I would assume the resuts would be even more apparent if the SSD had more data on it.

I'm currently in the process of testing Hyperfast and will post my results soon on OCZ forums.

I beat you to it I'm afraid - look further down the comments :)

Sorry guys but you are wrong on the SSD and defrag front.  It actually does help an SSD to defrag the drive as it enables more writes to be sequential rather than random which increases performance.  You can't just use any old defrag however.  Have a read of this:

This isn't spam by the way.  I am a member on OCZ forums and we are constantly looing for new ways to improve the speed of SSDs.
