Delete archive time

[Clive Cox <clive.cox@rummble.com>]

Hi,

 We use tarsnap and are very happy with it. The only general problem I
have is speed issues. As mentioned before on this list recovering
archives can take a very long time for large archives. Also, I find
deleting large archives also takes a very long time. The following took
around 6 hours. Any thoughts?

 Clive
