Wow, the first time in two years? No wander it took so long.
Probably you had some of the programs open while defragging, the Antivirus slows you to a crawl.

Five hour defrag ...

If you're using the Defrag that comes with Windows, your times seem believable. If you try another program, such as Norton's SpeedDisk, you'll be done in about 15 minutes.
