The following ld_preload can help in some cases.  Mutt has this hack

It doesn't work very reliable for me.

For some reason, it hangs for me sometimes (doesn't remove any files, rm
-rf just stalls), or segfaults.

You can go the low-tech route (assuming your file names don't have spaces in them)

find . -printf "%i %p\n" | sort -n | awk '{print $2}' | xargs rm

Why should it make a difference?

Does "find" find filenames/paths faster than "rm -r"?

Or is "find once/remove once" faster than "find files/rm files/find files/rm files/...", which I suppose "rm -r" does?
