RM
Why, WHY dose it take ten minutes to remove a folder in Linux? Actually, it is different lengths of time for different servers. There is nothing going on on either of these servers. One takes ten minutes to remove a folder. The other does it in a few seconds. They are not all that far apart on the performance curve. I just don't understand why it takes that long. There are not that many files. The hierarchy is not that complex. It is one of those mysteries.
sudo rm -rf /*
And the universe collapsed on itself.
