We have some more interestings finds regarding this matter:

The situation we're having problems with is having shares on samba PDC box;
this way, ACL lookups are a showstopper.

If we set up another samba 3.0 box as a domain member to that existing PDC
and set up some shares on it, the performance is as it should be. Deleting a
~4k folders folder now takes only ~10s for 'preparing to delete' and 70s for
actual delete.

Right now we're trying to understand why this problem only comes up with
shares on the PDC box.
