I'm currently defragging my whole Nexno folder using Game Booster.
What does it do? :what:

boo.
So long, I tried this already. Was just wondering if there was a short-to-the-point answer.

It places information closer together on the disk, so that it takes less time to read.

Thanks for the response
rep+
was it seriously that hard? xD
Does it help run Vindictus better? How much does it actually help?

No, not really.
I have a laptop I haven't defrag since I brought it a year or two ago, and it couldn't run Vindictus. After defrag, it didn't change at all.

Defragmentation is important to keeping your computer well maintained.
Try to do it every month, if you don't have an automatic timer set for it.
It'll stress out your computer less and maybe even free up some space.
Its wrong to say its "speeding up" your computer. More like its recovering it to its original state. When you constantly write and delete files (something computers are always doing), disk access will eventually become slower and slower. Defragmentation organizes files so your computer can read them easier.

The wiki's image is actually a great visual representation of this.

Files are written but all over the place. The computer moves them around to be clear and simple.

My Computer Automatically defrags itself every Wednesday. Problem is I lag a lot on Wednesdays.

This is probably better:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragmentation_%28computer%29
To sum it up... stuff starts out closer together, over time it gets fragmented and defragmentation puts it closer together. When it's fragmented it increases seek times because it's harder to find the data since it's spread all over instead of contiguous. Aaand... the longer you go without, the more fragmented things get and the slower everything gets.

Guys, he is not asking about Windows Defrag, he is asking about the one that comes with GameBooster, which just defrags single files.

Defragmentation isn't going to solve all of your computer problems, no way.
It's just maintenance really. It's not going to make or break your ability to play an entire game.
