Well, that's what I do: Remove the whole collection. It's no faster than 
removing the 9k documents (and leaving the collection that contained them).

This was with trunk. I am now at revision 13368, and removing a collection 
that contains 9k documents takes between 4 and 8 minutes. Creating 9k 
documents (with 45MiB of data) takes 6 to 10 minutes (there's some indexing 
etc. also going on during that import).

Kind regards,
