there are a few bugzilla bugs about delete performance.
bienvenu has made some recent changes to make it even better.
query for them in http://bugzilla.mozilla.org and add yourself to the cc
list.
if you don't see bugs that match your particular scenario, please log them.
bonus points if you break out a profiler (quantify, jprof, etc) and help
us figure out the hot spots.
