Lightroom Performance Tip: Empty Recycle Bin

While downloading the latest Lightroom update (version 2.3), I spent a moment browsing the release notes and spied this little tip:

Lightroom performance can be impacted when the Window’s Recycle Bin contains thousands of files

Now, I'm not sure exactly what areas of the program are affected by the recycle bin - and I'm a bit bothered by Adobe's improper apostrophe placement in the above - but I figured I may as well take out the trash...

Whoa! Whatever the benchmark for "contains thousands of files" may be, I would think that this qualifies. Just something you may want to take a look at in case, like me, emptying your recycle bin is something you do infrequently.
