While rm -rf would certainly be quicker and is obviously preferred
when you want to remove everything in the directory, the find version
could be speeded significantly by using xargs, i.e.,
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm
This is especially useful if you want to remove files selecticely
instead of everything at once.
