It felt like you were cleaning
and tidying up.

It gave me flashbacks to high school computer class, in which we were taught to use a tool misnamed COMPRESS -- actually a defragger -- to maintain our hard disks. It displayed a similar animation in text mode as it worked. This was on OG IBM 5150s -- ancient even at the time.
It's funny how, in these late-stage Moore's Law days, a 10-year-old PC is old certainly, but not as hopelessly outmoded now as the 5150 was then.

It felt oddly soothing watching the animation - ironic, really, since back when running defrag I'd be madly impatient for it to finish.

It's a shame Windows didn't show the date in the system clock until Vista, because it would have been fun to see when that GIF was recorded/made.
I used to run that like it was religion, watching the blocks all move together and change color, and knowing the machine would run just a bit faster after it was all done was a bit of magic.
