The time of the screen is proportional to the number of files to erase in version 4.0.3.
Comment 3 Dawit Alemayehu 2012-01-03 20:50:51 UTC 
This can actually be reproduced in Git master (KDE 4.8) without having to attempt to empty the trash can. Simply create a large number of bogus files and attempt to delete them. The result is the same and the amount of time taken is as stated in comment #2. 

The issue can be observed in both Dolphin and Konqueror. As such I am fairly certain KIO::CopyJob is the responsible for this issue. Reassigning to that module...
Comment 4 BryanFRitt 2013-06-16 04:54:15 UTC 
Sounds like this might be releated to:
When trash:/ is viewed /tmp/kde-$USER/ unnecessarily increases in size
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320784
Like it's trying to copy the files to /tmp/kde-$USER/... first.

Works for me in KDE Frameworks 5.45.
