My system has 2GB of RAM and 4GB of swap. Nautilus is taking almost all
of them. Top says 1781M virt and 1.2G res. This happens as I´m doing a
backup of my external USB drive into another USB drive. Around 1.000.000
files, with music, videos, text, and thousands and thousands of
pictures. Copying from Ext3 to Ext4 partition, with a simple copy and
paste.

Copy speed decreased with time, starting around 16-17MB/sec now around
11MB/sec.

Serious bug. Copy & paste shouldn´t destroy a machine no matter how big
the amount of files/total size. =(

On a different level, in the middle of the copy, as there was a
Lost+Found folder in both partitions, the copy process was stopped
waiting for an answer (Mix, replace, abort?). The question should have
been at the beginning, not in the middle of the copy, as the right to
thing to do is to start copying and leave or do something else.
