Defragmenting is much less important for most linux filesystems than it is for DOS/Windows ones. It's also rarely done as it'd mean shutting down the system -- one doesn't stop a server for several hours a week to defragment, after all. There is some slowdown as the filesystem gets fragmented, but they don't fragment as badly in the first place, and don't slow down nearly as much.
