Defragmentation is not a selling point of Flex Builder. Eclipse based IDEs start quicker when the data segments are less fragmented. This is an observation I made on a Windows XP machne over time. I run several versions of Eclipse based IDEs and each one showed noticeably less workbench load times after defragmentation.
My initial theory is the time it takes for Eclipse to index the open projects inside of the workbench that you are working on. Since defragmentation decrases hard disk seek times, this would result in quicker indexing of the workbench.
