yes.  filesystems are able to store/organize data more efficiently if they
dont get more than about 80% full.  secondly (and more importantly),
deletes on modern filesystems can be "journaled".  so when the cache
manager deletes a file, the unlink() may finish, but the kernel might
be in the background slowly returning the disk blocks to the free pool.
ext3 certainly does this.
