Until quite recently XFS was notable for being slow to delete. Others
have noted that this is greatly improved in recent kernels but even with
older kernels there is quite a bit of tuning that you can do to improve
the delete performance. Your favourite search engine should give
you good results.
I put down some notes for myself here a while back:
