Sure, but defrag is a very slow process, especially if you're re-bloating (since it requires shifting things to make space), and definitely not something that could happen in the background, as the player is playing. Re-bloating definitely wouldn't be good for a quick "Ok, I'm ready to play!".

I imagine it'd be equivalent to a download task, just one that doesn't consume bandwidth.
