That's really nice ;-)

The current cleaner is quite "unsmart"; it selects segments to be
reclaimed in fifo order, and cleans them only 2 segments (= 16MB) per
5 seconds by default.

So, if you made a massive amount of changes to the file system or keep
large volume of snapshotted blocks on disk, that could be possible.

If the cleaner never stops even though you leave the file system for
many hours, something would be wrong.
