Keep in mind that when you look in the Event Viewer, if the online defrag does not show an enormous amount of space regained (10GB+), I would not even do the offline defrag. Most of the time EV comes back with only MB of space recoverable. I think it is only feasible when you can reclaim a LARGE amount of disk space. The time and resources have to be taken into account also.

Unless u wait until an online defrag runs.......to see if that makes any kind of impact.
