I was looking for this one feature listing: fast file deletes, guess that’s just how windows rolls


You can't really beat the NTFS API being horribly slow.

Well, maybe you could, just as "Everything" file search achieves speed by bypassing the API entirely, but I think an application that wrote raw NTFS block writes would be rather high risk for most people to use.
