Deleting files FAST

Another useful snippet ive been using alot of late, i.e. when rebuilding dev environments.

Sometimes rm -f is very slow.  Heres what im doing instead


    (cd /origin/openshift.local.etcd && find . -type d -delete)
    (cd /origin/openshift.local.volumes && find . -type d -delete)
    (cd /origin/openshift.local.config && find . -type d -delete)

    sudo rm -rf /origin/openshift.local.config
    sudo rm -rf /origin/openshift.local.etcd
    sudo rm -rf /origin/openshift.local.volumes


I'm not sure *why* its so slow, but in any case,  I've asked here
