I found a great tutorial via Milo at Windows Vista Weblog from VistaRewired for speeding up the Windows Vista Defrag tool.
Many people are of the opinion that it is unnecessary to defrag NTFS
systems. Granted, unlike the earlier Windows operating systems, NTFS
systems do not require frequent defraging. However, if you notice the
system getting a bit "sluggish", particularly after heavy add/remove
activities, running the defrag tool or the tools in the VistaRewired
tutorial may help return the computer to its earlier zippy state.
Comments regarding the need to (or not to) defrag Wnidows Vista welcome.
