That is good to know/hope :)

"p count" seems to "thin out" over ag:

count = 513057792
count = 16596224
count = 15387584
count = 14958528
count = 4096960
count = 4340416
count = 4987968
count = 3321792
count = 5041856
count = 5485376
count = 5233088
count = 5810432
count = 5271552
count = 5464000
count = 365440

(if the full print output is interesting, it's attached).

The FS was never grown, the machine was installed on November 5th, 2012
and was (ab)using the FS ever since. On average there have been about
1-2 million file creations per day (ranging from a few kByte files to a
few 100 kBytes) and also an equally large number of deletions (after
some time). Thus overall, a somewhat busy server.
