Defragmenter Compacting Files??

[Dwight Stewart]

Defragmenter spends a lot of time at the end of the process compacting
files.

1. What does "compacting" mean? Is this like compressed (zip) files?

2. Can this slow down access to those files?

3. Is there a way to control which files are compacted or turn this off
completely?

Thanks for your assistance.
