[Bug 47842] Deleting many files in opened folder takes very long time

[Bazon]

Public bug reported:

steps to reproduce:

1. Be sure you have a "delete" option in your nautilus contextmenu (see
behaviour in nautilus options)

2. Use Nautilus to navigate to a directory with many files you can
delete, e.g. ~/.thumbnails/normal (For me, that folder included about
10000 files)

3. Select all files (e.g. with CRTL+A) and choose "delete" from the
contextmenu.


what happens:
Deleting these files takes ages (for me: 10000 files in prospected 11 hours) and CPU load is maximum. 

Probably because nautilus sorts all files after each one delted.

When I closed that nautilus window, deleting was a question of seconds.


what should happen:
Deleting many files should be fast and shouldn't stress the CPU.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
