    Well fragmenting happens when files are being written over space marked for overwriting (when a file is deleted). So the changing of the world cache can cause fragmenting, the creating and clearing of log files can cause fragmenting, etc. etc. You're probably seeing Istaria come up a lot because I'm guessing you use the program a lot.

    Fragmented files aren't "messed up." Fragmenting refers only to the way that files are spread across your hard disk(s). While programs can slow down if their files are too spread out across your drives (that is, they're highly fragmented), the fact that you defragment your drives so much means that that probably isn't your problem anyway.

    I can't remember the last time I defragmented my computer, and Istaria isn't giving me any problems.

    If your drive is approaching full (less than about 25% free), the performance impact from fragmentation will become more noticeable, and new files will be fragmented from the start. This effect gets worse as your drive gets closer to becoming full.

    Other factors such as an older, slow drive; accessing the drive using PIO mode instead of DMA; certain types of DRM and malware; and an antivirus can also make disk access slower.
