Deleting old archives is slow

Every couple months I expire a bunch of old archives with commands like...

tarsnap -d -f archivename-2014010101
tarsnap -d -f archivename-2014010102
tarsnap -d -f archivename-2014010103
...

Each deletion takes a minute or so.   Is there any way to speed this up?

I'd be willing to forego the statistics if I could just submit the
deletion request and not wait around for the completion.

Thanks!
Tom
