Description Eric Rizzo

Deleting of large folders in the workspace is orders of magnitude slower than
using Windows File Explorer. I experimented with a folder that contains 2400
files in 64 subdirectories, totaling 72MB. Windows File Explorer took on average
5-7 seconds to delete that folder. Eclipse Resource Navigator took more than 100
seconds.
There is another bugzilla entry to allow delete operations to run in the
background, but I think it would be more appropriate to fix the underlying
problem that it is just too slow.
