When you copy/remove lots of files, the midnight gets too slow 
because of thousands of screen redraws (per a second). Terminals 
are slow and disc is waiting.

It would be nice to limit the redraw of the copy/remove window do 
an user defined time (e.g. 200-500 ms). This could be easy to 
implement (and you dont need threads or something like that - just 
one "if" and time measurement).

Check this out - touch 100000 files and try to delete with midnight 
and after that with the "rm" command. Feel the difference?
