This is what I did:
* I installed nautilus-dbg
* Closed nautilus: nautilus -q
* Opened nautilus with valgrind: G_SLICE=always-malloc G_DEBUG=gc-friendly
valgrind -v --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --num-callers=40
--log-file=valgrind.log nautilus
* Opened a directory where a video file was being downloaded (and Nautilus
regularly refreshed its preview)
* Opened a directory with a lot of other directories
* Opened a directory with a lot of music files
Nautilus gives us a lot of error like that:
totem-video-thumbnailer: 'file:///path/to/a/mp3/file' isn't
thumbnailable
Reason: Media contains no supported video streams.
* Kill Nautilus with <Ctrl> + C
Thank you!

Title:
[Precise] Nautilus: memory leak
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Hello,
It's just to note that Nautilus has memory leaks with the latest
version: with an uptime of 10 hours, Nautilus uses 420Mo.
It's maybe interesting to know that:
* I'm using a slideshow and not one single image as background.
* I opened Nautilus in directories where big files were being downloaded
(and Nautilus regularly refreshed their preview)
* I made a few actions (like opening directories with a lot of files, moving
files, creating directories, extracting tarball, etc.)
* I'm using a few plugins like nautilus-dropbox, nautilus-image-converter,
etc.
* I've bookmarks with special characters like 'Vidéos' and 'Téléchargements'.
I hope it will help you to fix this bug ;)
