Doing it over the remote api means you are going to transfer all your data + transmission overhead over the wire. You are probably better off doing something like this on the server side through an admin protected handler.
Also if you happen to know the keys of your data (you used key_name) your deletes are going to be a lot more efficient if you give db.delete a list of keys instead.
