manual forced compactions create more problems than they solve, if you have
no evidence of tombstones in your selects (which seems odd, can you share
some of the tracing output?), then I'm not sure what it would solve for you.

Compaction running could explain a high load, logs messages with ERRORS,
WARN, GCInspector are all meaningful there, I suggest search jira for your
version to see if there are any interesting bugs.
