Windows XP defrag is stupid

Why should anyone ever have to run defrag twice in a row?
I mean it says done and your looking at the finished results and it's all still pretty fragmented, You would think that it should keep going until all the red lines are gone.
BTW the reason my drive was so badly fragmented is this drive was a 40gig used almost exclusively for kazaa since I got it 6 months ago.
On a side note Kazaa opened my computer up to spyware aka ad pop-up software....I ran ad aware and it cleaned something like 606 items up off my other drive on this machine (I would have ran it earlier, but this entire machine is basically for internet now since I don't 2-box other video games)
Yes the picture is slightly edited, I used the main picture from a before screenshot, but then I had 2 gigs worth of bad movies DL'd (they didn't run) so I deleted them and restarted defrag when it was only 30% completed. When it finished the defrag the second run I edited and cut/paste that box in the bottom...so actually the "after" box is what my drive looked after running defrag 1.3x not 1x and with 2 more gig free....otherwise the after box would look much worse lol.
