I can attest to that.

Earlier this week I inadvertently deleted a 'book' from my Media library, which included a 1.3 gigabyte video 'clip'. Restore from .caltrash was done & dusted in < 2 seconds. This was on a spinning rust drive. Previously, because of my miserly Recycle bin settings, I would have had to restore from backup - and that would have taken several minutes to 'copy' the 1.3GB file from a USB drive.

My only gripe with the new regime is: Why did it take so long? Far as I can tell it doesn't use any calibre or platform features that didn't exist decades ago.
