Bug Description

Restoring a deleted item from trash takes quite long. It should work almost instantaneously (as deleting the file).

Imagine you just deleted a movie which is 700MB. This takes about 0.25 sec. You recognize that it was the wrong movie and now you want to restore it of course. You go to the trash can and because there's no "restore-file" option* you just drag it out to where you have deleted it from. (Try this!) You will notice a "moving file" progressbar and it takes about one minute (or 50 seconds or 45 secs, doesnt matter) until you have your movie back.

The trash should be improved so it does not take longer to recover the file than to delete it.

*I know that according to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/60/ there will be such an option
