Such "cleaning" is the bane of LFSes. Or one of them, at least: read performance fragmentation is another.
Have a browse around http://www.netapps.com/technology/ for a _really_ good alternative. Netapp's write-anywhere filesystem allows the same write streaming performance that LFS gives, without restricting the allocater in the way that LFS does.
