How does tidy scale better? You could use IsDir rather than FileExists
along with the -r option or "find" with some criteria and a -exec
option.
Here is a hack to get a big recursive delete to return quickly:
/bin/sh -c '( /bin/rm -rf /some/path & )'

Hmm, I would at least wrap it with a class like my previous example.

"disable" might also be an option.
