Currently deleting even small matrices cause a proxy time-out.  We're working of fixing this. 

The other thing that was never implemented in the original code is that taxon labels belonging to a deleted matrix or tree do not get deleted themselves, even if they are not used by anything else. Hence garbage builds up -- and it's confusing to the submitter to still find taxon labels there after deleting all matrices and trees.  So we're also working to fix this. 

Youjun will try to implement this in the usual java-hibernate way, but if that proves too slow, other solutions like a Postgresql stored procedure might need to be used.
