Title:
  Deleting many files in opened folder takes very long time

Status in Nautilus:
  Expired
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.
