I have seen the same issue.

I have found that clearing out ~/.gqview/trash before starting helps a
lot, but that's about safe delete.

I would add some kind of log statements with gettimeofday to
microseconds, and sprinkle them to narrow down where the time is going.

My theory is that there is some linear scan which needn't happen (on
delete), and it's highly likely this is a geeqie bug rather than gtk2.
