Cascading Delete

I use cascading delete on my SQL Server Database. I am experiencing a
long query time on my highest level delete, 10 minutes. If I delete
from each table manually and then delete the parent, I will usually be
done in less than a minute. Any suggestions?

Did you implement the cascading delete by triggers or by referential
integrity?

In either case, care to share the relevant code and table definitions,
including indexes?
