Excruciatingly SLOW File Operations

I am running VVP 2015 under Windows Vista with SP1 and ALL updates/patches.
I am using VVP to backup portions of my C: drive to an external hard drive (1 TB MyBook) connected via USB 2.0. Both HDs are NITS format.
I am experiencing very slow file operations on the USB drive (e.g., more than an hours to delete 90 files and transfer rates less than 2Mbps).
Other programs (e.g., Windows Explorer) operate much faster.
I have searched the KB and Forum and not found any information (but perhaps I wasn't using the appropriate search terms).
Is this a known issue? Is there any way to speed up VVP?
Thanks in advance -- OwlCat1212

Try disactivating the option to send files to the recycle bin. It is under "View" -> "Preferences", in the main menu. The option is called "Use recycle bin when deleting". thanks
