Has anyone else noticed that when a Vista defrag is running, that your PC can
entirely lock up for a period (on my PC it's about 3 minutes)?
I believe that when the defrag program de-fragments the windows page file,
or some other key system files, that the GUI basically stalls until the file
is unlocked.
The DWM continues to run and you can move windows around, but all processes
become non-responsive. Basically all message queues are stalled.
The drive rattles for ages and then the system comes back alive if you're
patient.
