Reducing defragmentation impact

On all my Tru64 systems I set up a cron job to run the AdvFS defragmenter on
a regular basis. For the most part, this works well. Where it isn't working
well is on a particular V5.1 pk3 DS20 supporting an Oracle database.

When the defragmenter is running, the system slows down dramatically, to the
point where the application starts having problems. I've tried nice'ing the
defragment process, but that had no discernable effect.

Are there any tricks to get the defragmenting done while minimizing the
impact on the rest of the system?
