Hi,

Is there any information about that details the performance characteristics of deleting a large number of items in a list?

We are wanting to create a list in a site that will have up to 5000 entries.  This list will need to be refreshed on a monthly basis so want to delete the current items, and then reload the list.

Doing the delete individually is very slow.

Thanks

Steven Reid
