<pre>Ah, hmm, I think I get it now.
If PrivateTmp is used and the private tmp dir is really really full of little
files, then we will try to delete them all synchronously stopping everything
else in PID 1 for that time and that might take ages. And that sucks hard.
Not sure what we can do about this... We could fork off the clean-up routine so
that PID 1 is unaffected by slow disk. But, brrr.</pre>
