My own experience shows me just that. My /home partition was almost
full with only 2% freespace. During that time, my Kmail became very
slow such as when downloading email or when I moved between mail
folders. The harddisk was just spinning all the time.
Most hard drives spin all the time, anyway... ;-)
Then I copy all my files and mails from the /home partition and move
them all to another partition. Then delete them from /home. After
that, I copied some of the files and mail back to /home in order to
keep 20% of /home free. So far the performance is ok.
A too full drive is a problem in itself, defragging a drive (on any
system) in that condition is only rescheduling the inevitable.
