Defrag Freeware ?

Does anyone know of a good freeware defragmenting utility?
I might buy O-O in hopes of getting something a bit faster than the built-in defrag. But I'm using lots of terrific freeware and/or open source programs and like to go with open source whenever possible.

The built-in defrag may be a little slow, but it probably does a better job than many freeware alternatives. You can download Diskeeper for a free fully functional 15-day trial (good for 95/98/98SE/NT/2000/XP).
After all, bosses typically prefer an accurate and slower person over a fast and inaccurate person.
