Removing that many files is I/O bound. The CPU doesn't play any
significant role in it. The only way to speed things up is to either get
faster storage (an SSD with high IOPS value for random writing) or you
can try another filesystem. IIRC XFS is good at what you are doing. I
cannot recommend it, though, as I don't have any recent experience with
it.
