Any Validity In Destroy being slow?

I was working with a gui recently and found that destroy() seems to be slow with lots of children (in my case over 100). So much so that doing

for i,v in pairs(gui:GetChildren()) do 
      spawn(function()
          v:Destroy()
     end)
end
gui:Destroy()

was actually faster to destroy the object. Am I going crazy or is this a real thing?

Coincidentally I was thinking the exact same thing, the number of image labels in my case would increase exponentially and either it seemed as or it was that :Destroy() was behind.

But for your case you should be fine, because I don’t believe :Destroy yields, if anything use coroutine instead of spawn().

How is destroying an object slow? Can you provide benchmark results?
