somebody should send this upstream so that it can be discussed there. I don't think the Ubuntu devs have the time to take the initiative on this one.

When downloading a video from my Canon EOS 500D camera, gvfsd-gphoto2 loads it whole into memory by first filling hundreds of MBs or even more of memory (once RAM is full it keeps writing into swap) and writes it onto hdd only when it is entire read in memory. This dramatically slows the computer down and takes a lot more time than with gphoto2 that writes immediately and uses nearly no memory. I am using Ubuntu 10.10, the latest gvfs package from the repository version 1.6.4-0ubuntu1.1 This is possibly an upstream bug.
