My best example was an old Wallstreet Powerbook that took ages to start up and was very unresponsive. Norton speed disk took around an hour to shunt files around and afterwards it back to normal. Fragmentation has to be very bad to notice a difference, and this example was bad. Running speed disk when there's just a few percent fragmentation makes no difference.
