Is it noticeably helpful?
Do you defrag a lot?

Totally dependent on how fragmented the hd is...

It depends on a lot of things. If you're the average user running xp/7 and you're worried about disk fragmentation, then just run an analysis with windows defrag. If it's over 15% or so, then you might want to defrag. Also, if you almost never install programs or copy large files, then you shouldn't have much of a problem.
Just a brief synopsis.

I use Defraggler, and I defrag my smaller drives/partitions completely every week. The big drives/partitions take hours, so I only defrag the files that need it. I do notice a difference, especially on my C: drive; less disk thrashing and faster loading of programs.
Every four days, I run "rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks" as an automatically scheduled batch file. It's supposed to run without any help when the PC is idle, but since I run Folding@Home 24/7, it's never idle. Speeds up bootup noticeably.
