Any cataloguing and un-cataloguing of an object is expensive, c'mon you are
changing all the indices, vocabulary and so on. You never notice it normally
for 1 - 10 things, but run an import script of 10000 and catalog each object
as it gets added (rather than all of them at the end) and you'll notice the
difference. (This script was cataloguing 250,000 mail messages, one at a
time. Big no-no)
