Running the Disk Defragmenter can help take fragmented files and make them contiguous, thereby reducing the input/output operations when later accessing that file. It should be understood that recording a file to disk to not ensure that it's recorded in one piece. In fact, frequently files are recorded in several pieces. In order to then access that file requires that each piece of that file be brought up seperately. The effect of which can slow performance and can lead to other problems in severe cases.
