[l-o-n-g defrag time]

Defraggler is also extremely slow on my system:

 

System specs: Win7 x64 (fully updated), 16GB Ram, 240GB SSD (60% full), Defraggler v2.11.560, latest Intel AHCI RSST drivers

Last Defrag: Probably never (it's a SSD). I did have some files which were literally fragmented in hundreds of thousands of parts, therefore I wanted to defrag it once (i know you should not defrag SSDs because of wear, please don't lecture me about this - i know what i'm doing).

 

Defraggler uses 100% of one of my CPU Cores (Core i7-2600k) and is slow as hell. Takes >15 hours for the whole SSD. The hard drive light only blinks occasionally.

The defragmentation is absolutely CPU limited. Not really sure why it should be though. Disk is hardly active at all. IMHO there is quite a significant bug here. Perhaps it doesn't like the Intel RSST Drivers or the version 2.11.560 is buggy in all cases?

 

When running Microsoft Defrag on the same system, the HDD activity LED is on almost constantly and CPU usage is less than 1/4th of one core.

SSD Drives do not need defragmenting!!!  There must be another reason why your computer is running slower. I would suggest a full re-install or revert back to a backup when your computer was running fast. My computer was running slow when I installed malwarebytes premium. The trouble was the real-time web protection. You need to disable this but of course you may not wish to if you are not using another program like Eset to protect you.

I first downloaded the new version but it was very slow and was told to use version 2.19.982

My god, what a difference!! It is so much faster. I first did a quick scan on a 1TB hard drive which was half full and it took one hour. There was 17 percent fragmention left because of huge files I have. So I next did a normal scan which took an hour and a half to defrag 100GB worth of big files.

My computer is so much faster now, it really made a difference. I love this program!!!

Please note - The fast scan does start off like it takes forever to move up a percentage but the percentage tally will move much faster deep into the scan and so don't worry, it doesn't take 4 hours like the estimation tells you. Not for me anyway but keep in mine, I only had 500GB space filled which was 37 percent fragmented.
