Im at 17 hours straight as I type this. I did have it set to run on a schedule which I turned off 2 weeks ago. when I checked last night it even said I didnt need to defrag but I decided to anyway. 17 hours seems like an insane amount of time to defrag especially since its only been a couple weeks since the last one.
 
If its taking that long, copy all the data off (everything) and put it back.
It will take much less time and be completely defragged.

If its your Windows drive, copy as much off as possible, defrag and put the data back.
That will be much faster.
 
What all do you have running in the background? Before running a defrag be sure all unnecessary tasks are shut down. (eg icons in the right hand lower tray)
 
Wow cannondale are you going for the guinness book of records for longest defrag record
