Jiann-Ming Su posted a link, which talks about two possibilities to defragment
your discs: either use defrag (but make a backup before!) or just make a
backup, clean your partitions and restore the backup.
I did the last thing (after using my system for ~2 years for ~10 hours a day,
making updates every day) and my system booted about 30% faster. Now, after a
year or so, it seems to be time to do it again (booting became slower and
slower).
This applies to all UNIX-type systems, as far as I know. We used to have
to do it on old SCO and Interactive UNIX boxes, as well as Solaris. The
procedure is very straightforward, but make sure you verify your backup
properly...:-)
