My ASUS EE was sluggish after a few months so I went to defrag the C: Drive.

(It will tell you the computer needs to be restarted and I think it then did
so by default.)
When it had restarted I did a defrag on C: and all is lovely and also my
free space on C: had doubled from 20% to over 40%
Edit: I forgot to say I am using XP.
