The fixed interval is problematic. There are SSD devices out there that
suffer (their flash cells die out faster) when they get trimmed too
often. A good rule of thumb is to trim once you have written the same
amount as you have free space on your device. Obviously, that interval
varies for every user (e.g. it's one week in my case).
