Question #76796 on gnome-system-monitor in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-monitor/+question/76796

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
You never have to defrag ext3 or ext4. The journal tells the system
where to find the data and keeps the data well. The system also
recognises that data access is fragmented so 100% contiguous files will
actually slow down the system. All you have to worry about is leaving at
least 10% free space on each partition.

The default is to save everything to your home folder, that is where
user data is to be stored. It is synonymous with the windows "My
Documents" folder so this is completely normal.

You can save space by running:

sudo apt-get clean

in a terminal to clear the old .deb files out from updates and installs
of programs. You can also clear out your web browser cache.

If you want to analyse your system performance run:

top

in a terminal and watch what happens. Watch CPU and RAM usage of the
apps.

Can you also provide:

system cpu speed
system ram amount

and the output of:

df -h

Thanks
