Dealing/Fixing the Ploop issue with OpenVZ -- relclaiming lost space

Question

So OpenVZ Ploop has a bug where if users add then delete files the space becomes unclaimed and the disk eventually runs out of space. Now there is a script that fixes that(included below). However, surely there is a better way then running this script daily to fix the problem without having to changes virtualizations.

Basically, the question is: Is there a more ideal way to reclaim lost space other then running a script every so often? (I am assuming that the script will cause load issues?).

Offtopic: Why does ploop have this issue and not other virtualizations?
