Deleting trash extremely slow
I re-installed 10.5 last on my MacBook and did the usual upgrades.
Initially I had my accounts secured with FileVault, but when I wanted to delete files I noticed it took ages just to delete a few files, let alone deleting 3500 or so after a Adium upgrade.
That takes about 15 minutes.
I then shut off FileVault because I thought that might be the problem, but it doesn't seem to be it.
Previously, on my 10.4.10 upgraded to 10.5.x it was all fine, and deleting 3500+ files would only take a second or two.
So, what could cause this? It's starting to get really annoying by now.
More importantly, how can I fix this?
If I need to supply any information about my system and stuff, please let me know.

Damn annoying one too.
Not only is there an option to securely empty the trash in System Preferences/Security, but also one in Finder preferences.
