Rarely... Though it's debatable if defragging actually gives substantial performance boosts. Maybe with a huge HDD that is seriously fragged, think 40%, then yes, you would see a difference.

I heard that defrag software will go the way of the dinosaur when ssd come into play since due to the speed and nature of SSD's, you dont need to defrag your hdd unlike a mechanical hdd.
