Um... honestly, it was the default setting on vista when I go this computer. When I had XP on the old machine I defragged when I remembered, which was usually about every 6 months, and it never took this long.
Today I've uninstalled a pile of crapware that came with the laptop to give me back some space (office 07, MS works, other nonsense) and put some files on a backup drive that I don't use that often. So there's been quite a bit of changing things around which is why I set this going. Looks like I'm going to need to leave it going overnight.
