We are working on auto compaction. The Couchbase alpha already supports it. This should help, but it will help even more on a cluster as each shard can be compacted independently.

does "auto compaction" mean that the compaction process is just automatically triggered?

Yes, but only when certain configurable conditions are met (fragmentation level, time period). There's some user level documentation in the default.ini config file:

ok, that would still lead to a situation where my server crawls to a halt for hours and might never finish if I don't basically take it offline :(
