Finally converted to NTFS.

Converted my system drive to NTFS. The conversion went fine and fast and everything works. The problem is that I almost always have significant delays when launching programs or files or simply booting the system.

I have done all the NTFS tweaks I could find like NoLastAccessUpdate. I checked and my cluster size is 4 KB not 512 bytes which sometimes hurts performance. I also did do several defragments after the conversion.

I believe that the problem may be that my MFT is fragmented. Is there any good program that can defragment the MFT and place it at the front of the drive?

Would a fragmented MTF really hurt performance that much. My FAT32 volume was highly fragmented before the conversion but it was never this slow. Anything else that could speed it up.
 
Placing it at the front of the drive won't help, all that'll do is increase seek times for all file access that's not already in memory since you'll be seeking to the MFT and then all the way across the drive to where the file data is stored. And NoLastAccessUpdate won't help unless you have an extremely seek happy access pattern, like for a mail or news spool.
