When disks were much slower and smaller than today, defragmenting would make a noticeable improvement.

A defragmented disk will increase your system's speed by reducing the time your disk head is not positioned to read or write. Modern disks operate so fast this wasted time is insignificant, and higher capacity disks transfer more data with equivalent mechanical movement.

Windows XP does things differently...
