depends. such a generalisation shouldn't be made, imo.

another unnecessary generalisation. Totally depends on the user.

yeah, i do the same, i like to keep a fairly 'fresh' system.
anyways...
defragging is somewhat personal, depending on how you use your computer.
me? i defrag ~weekly with diskeeper 8. more or less, depending on how many files i've been shuffling around and such.
timewise, my best suggestion is to have the freespace for the defragger to be able to do it more efficiently. +30% is good, imo.
