Comment (by cfinke):
Instead of actually doing the work of deleting all of the spam messages
when "Empty Spam" is clicked, what about updating the `comment_approved`
field of all spam comments to be something like `spam-pending-delete`, and
then have the WP cron delete any comments with `comment_approved=spam-
pending-delete` in batches.
That should reduce the delay significantly from the time when the user
clicks the button to when their Spam folder appears to be empty, and it
wouldn't require any new UI.
