Comment 6 for bug 354617

Thanks tazz,
your hint has solved the problem. After emptying the trash, moving to trash works fast again.

I cannot confirm the number of files (20-30) you mention. With my system the problem worsens with somewhere between 250 and 2000 files in the trash:
With 250 files in the trash it takes about 1-2 seconds to move a file to the trash. The information icon will appear in the system tray and inform you about the moving to trash action.
With 2000 files in the trash, moving 1 file to the trash already takes 20 seconds.

my system:
GA-MA69GM-S2H
AMD Athlon X2 BE-2350
2GB RAM
Harddisks: SATA
Western Digital WD6400AAKS
Seagate: ST3250410AS
