Joonsoo wasn't very happy about this approach so let me try a different
way. What do you think about the following? Hugh, Sergey does it help
for your load? I have tested it with the Hugh's load and there was no
major difference from the previous testing so at least nothing has blown
up as I am not able to reproduce the issue here.

Other changes in the compaction are still needed but I would like to not
depend on them right now.
