Yup. Proper maintenance, such as defragmentation, should always be performed. No doubt. Power schemes, screen savers and such crap should definitely be disabled.

However, at some point and depending on your configuration, it becomes more important what kind of quality you put into your DAW to get optimum results and not how much you tweak your system.
