No, you don't have to disable pagefiles for defragging.

I just defraged and I never thought it would actually make a difference. I have really only noticed one thing but its a big thing to me. When I open Firefox it usually take 10 to 30 seconds to open. It just opened within 2 seconds or so. WOW

Considering your system specs it is absolutely disgusting for it to take 10-30 seconds for Firefox to start.

Of course defragmenting is beneficial and helps with system performance when done regularly!
