[CUBE] Defrag?

Maybe you are running out of memory. If you find an invisible folder
containong "swapfiles" you can see how many swapfiles your OS is writing.
When you reboot swapfiles are deleted, so run your Cube a few days before
checking swapfiles.

No, there is no reason to defrag UNIX.

For heaven's sake don't install Norton.

Just leave it on overnight, maintenance routines will run at the wee hours.

Otherwise, tell us what OS you are runnning and some hardware facts.
