Post-Jailbreak Cleanup runs really slow on macOS #12

Description

@ClovertaTheTrilobita

I'm using the command to run springbreak on my MacBook Air M4 with macOS 26.5.2 as instructed on Kindle Modding Wiki:

curl -L https://github.com/KindleModding/SpringBreak/releases/latest/download/springbreak.zip -o springbreak.zip && unzip springbreak.zip && cd springbreak && chmod +x ./springbreak-darwin && ./springbreak-darwin

When I rerun the command to clean up Filler Files, the progress bar said it needs nearly 2 hours for cleaning to finish

Is that normal? The screenshot on the wiki page seems can finish in a minute.
