Can somebody please give me an estimate on how long Disk Defrag should take? I need to get back to work on my PC soon, but have just finished uninstalling several programs (about 100GB worth), and feel as though it might be worth the interruption before I install replacement software for those items just removed.

Details: i5 3570K, WD 500GB Caviar Black (roughly 40% full now), Windows 7

That sounds like a good trade-off, and I already use CCleaner so thank you for this. One query though, upon installation, it ask if I want to replace Windows defrag. Would you recommend this, or just to have it as another option?
