Hello,
I can confirm this as well. It takes up all 6.7GB of my usable RAM with 4GB
in swap, which is 8% of my swap.
I don't remember my SBU, but the entire test suite took about 8 minutes to
finish. My shells still work after installation though.
My system is 64 bit 4 core AMD A10 with 8GB RAM (6.7GB usable).
Here's the commit that added this test -
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdk-pixbuf/commit/?id=8dba67cb4f38d62a47757741ad41e3f245b4a32a

It seems it was added to check for overflows. Could be that's why it's
blowing up the memory.
Hope this helps.
