Defragging tidies everything up and blocks a program's bits together so that the reader heads don't have to shuttle back and forth to read a whole executable or data file. Your disk stores a file's data in one or more chunks of space on the physical disk, regardless of whether the space is contiguous.

For example, on my work laptop, I was surprised to note that, while my 8GB of RAM and decent CPU got good scores of over 7, but my hard drive was a less impressive 5.9. Windows Experience rates each component out of a score of a possible max of 7.9. Hardware experts will pooh-pooh this test's ability to precisely measure system performance, but it can at least show you if there's a particular system component that's holding back your system speed. Here along with your Windows version and hardware, you'll see a Windows Experience rating. If you right-click on Computer and choose Properties.
