The way I see is that it *can* give some interesting additional data to periodical compaction (the one is not triggeed by the shrinker): if the number of moves objects is relatively high but the number of comapcted (feeed) pages is relatively low then the system has fragmentation in small size classes (that tend to have many objects per zspage but not too many pages per zspage) and in this case the interval between periodical compactions probably can be increased. What do you think?
