You can set it to run scans on bootup or even have the app shut down your computer when it's done defragging selected hard drives or partitions. Smart Defrag offers a few extras, including a scheduler so you can set it up to only defrag during downtime on your computer. Even while performing a full defragmention and optimization run, the program barely uses as much as 25MB of RAM, and with just the auto-defrag running continually, it uses about half that amount. In addition to the solid defragmentation tools, you can have Smart Defrag automatically defrag the files you use the most without significantly slowing down your system. Depending on your hard drive and level of defragmentation, your mileage may vary. Our test machine has a rather full hard drive, so even using the fast optimization took close to 40 minutes. When you're ready to pull the trigger, you can choose from a straight defragmentation (fastest), or have Smart Defrag perform either a fast or 'deep' optimization after defragmentation. The interface shows you different colored blocks representing fragmented files, frequently used files, and more, with a helpful key to show what each colored block represents. With this utility you can quickly analyze your hard drive to check the level of defragmentation before committing to a scan.

There are plenty of downloadable defrag utilities to choose from, but it's hard to beat the ease of use and helpful extras in IOBit's Smart Defrag.
