Don't worry, I believe it's around 100,000 write cycles.  That
translates to about 50,000 compactions (each compaction is one write,
the other one is the sum of all the parameter writes to cause it to
need compaction).

Try using X-Mix.  You can select the current pattern by selecting a
different pattern, then reselecting the current one.  Note that you
won't be swapping tracks, but it should be pretty quick if you have a
spare track.
