It would still take at least one click plus a little waiting time per  
event at the least. It is a simple matter of complexity: I propose  
O(1) instead of O(n), n the number of events you have to delete. On  
the other hand, you can speed up individual deletes as much as you  
want, you will never leave O(n) if you stick to the model we currently  
have ;)

What you have to decide is wether this improves a set of use cases  
that is significant enough to justify the effort or not. In my  
opinion, it does, since I believe the function should be not too  
complicated and should not have any side effects. But, of course, I am  
not privy to your code base.
