If we are constantly running compactor in a loop then we shouldn't pay the price of constantly holding the lock in the garbage collection function. What the lock holding means in practice that we have to wait two or sometimes even three times the amount it takes to sync metas. That doesn't make sense since we are running the compactor in a loop and the compacted blocks are properly taken care of.
