A lot of confusion in Defraggler can come from it showing things like 0% fragmentation, but it still takes hours.
This is because Defraggler shows File fragmentation, but not Free Space fragmentation.
_____
Can you add an option to show both file & free space fragmentation?
Current State:
0% File fragmentation
43% Free Space fragmentation
This way, users will KNOW whats taking so long!
Edit: And help save my sanity, by helping me keep track of about how much longer it has left...

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION
DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)
ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
CCLEANER, RECUVA, DEFRAGGLER AND SPECCY DOCUMENTATION CAN BE FOUND AT www.piriform.com/docs

You can only achieve % fragmentation if you disable system restore, hibernation and stop your anti-virus from creating log files!

Most of us do that.
Since there are 2 kinds of fragmentation (file & free space), it would be nice to also have any idea how long free space defrag is going to take, as well.
Currently, users may see 0% FILE fragmentation (& wonder why defrag takes so long), not realizing there is also FREE SPACE fragmentation.
