I am experiencing the same issue on Ubuntu 11.10 with gvfs 1.10.0-0ubuntu1 and libgphoto2-2 version 2.4.11-3.
I am trying to copy about 7Gb of photos and video clips from a camera via USB to an external USB HDD using cut/paste in Nautilus. gvfs-gphoto2 consumes about 2Gb of memory (2.6 Gb VIRT and 1.9Gb RES accoring to top). This also means its diggin into the swap space (about 1.5Gb of swap is used). The system grinds to a virtual halt, and Nautilus crashed twice during the operation forcing me to restart the copying....
