A faster shutil.rmtree or maybe a command.

H!

Sometimes I must delete 2 very big directory's.
The directory's have a very large tree with much small file's in it.

So I use shutil.rmtree()
But its to slow.

Is there a faster method ?

I use FreeBsd 5.4.

Is os.system("rm -rf %s" % directory_name) much faster?

A little.

I think its yust to big to handle it.
I'm going to ask it in a freebsd forum, maybe they know how to speed
up.

Thanks.
