If by "constantly defragging" you mean "Defrags once a week, but only when the computer isn't in use" then you're correct. >Computers will usually run faster with defrag disabled. Umm, no. Vista is good (and W7 is better) at backing off when there is user activity, so during the actual defrag there shouldn't be any noticeable performance loss during the defragmentation. The rest of the time you may see a performance increase or you may not, it really depends on the way you use your system and your hardware whether fragmentation would have caused a performance hit or not.

If there is user activity happening, it won't run. One's PC running faster has nothing to do with the Windows defrag program, but is has totally everything to do with what one's PC has running at startup and how much RAM and high end hardware they have to be able to run Vista and Win7.
From: John Barnes on 20 Dec 2009 10:26 Which OS are you running. Where in the system do you get this message? Can you open an elevated command prompt and run 'defrag /C' no quotes and the drive letter you want to defrag.
