It'll help if you list your hardware specs.

Does it take just as long with a tiny file as it does with a lot of large files?

Mostly with large files, but also with small files.

Open the task manager and click on the performance tab. Keep an eye on that as you open the recycle bin. Watch to see if the CPU or RAM usage spikes.
