Vista - Why Does It Take So Long To Delete Files?

When I'm deleting a large number of files, it takes forever. Why is this?
This a new laptop which is supposed to be faster. It has 4 gig memory & a
large hard drive. It is also very slow when emptying the recycle bin. In
fact, everything in Vista seems to be slower than in XP, even though the
older computer was 4 years old. What's the big deal with Vista supposed to
be better? IMO it's not at all.

I'm having the same problem but have a work around.

Create a tempoarary folder
Select all of the files you want to delete.
Move them into the tempoarary folder by clicking and dragging, do not cut
and paste
Delete the temporary file.

It's not elegant but it works.
