It seems like ever since I switched to ssds I haven't felt the need to do it. However on my good machines I tend to not be installing and uninstalling lots of programs all the time. I try to keep one shitty machine that I use to experiment on.
I remember back with xp it seemed like you couldn't go more than a couple years without having to reformat.
I guess using 2 drives, one for data and one for os, is probably partly why my machines no longer get bogged down.
