Well, if you have extraneous crap running in the background it has to start over. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

is it defragging right now? if so, you have your internet browser running. Ive found that mine takes forever, so i just let it run overnight.
