I don't see that (reaper) as a trick.
It can be called pre-mature optimization, and in our case a good one, in more ways:
1) exposed new issues
2) removed locking
3) does fair optimization
How safe the solution is, only good tests can show. ;-)
And we're making sure every issue we encounter is put in VFS's tests.
