I idly wonder (don't know) to what extend find might parallelize the
unlinks with -delete. A cursory scan of the semantics would suggest it
could potentially do so: it's not clear that a single unlink failing
should stop future unlinks (merely spew errors and consider the -delete
operation as a whole to have failed)

Not sure why loading perl (>1.6M) should be faster than find (~300K)
and I think '-delete' behaviour is essentially unlink under the hood.
