How about "Generational Garbarge Collection"? Assuming that there are 
some files that will never be deleted this could give slighly better
performance.

Keep a "copy count" (a copy occurs if the cleaner has to copy data from 
the left end to the right end of the FIFO). If that increases over, say 
3, copy it into the old generation FIFO.

One problem of course is how to dimension each generation, and how many
to use.

I think that's basically how LFS works.
