Check out the ScaleGroup Job Editor, it allows an administrator to modify the schedules for the Deletion Job and the Re-Indexing Job for CRM 4.0 deployments. It's the ScaleGroup Job Editor and it can be downloaded here:

A few things to note, the Deletion Service is no longer a separate service for CRM 4.0. The Async Service now handles the job of deleting records from CRM, and it handles a maintenance job normally handled within a SQL Server job that re-indexes the database. By default these jobs run for each individual Organization every 24 hours. The scheduled time is initially set at the time a CRM Organization is created. So keep that in mind, normally I would recommend these jobs run off hours usually late at night. This is a very handy admin tool that can be used to reset these times. It's also very useful in development. From my own experience you may at times want to delete the data that is created by developers, testers or end users. You can use this tool to reset the time for the deletions to occur immediately. Below is a screen shot, it's very easy to use.
