I have a similar problem with gvfsd, where its memory usage grows in
certain circumstances. I checked some of the other reports here, but
cannot seem to reproduce it with file copies or connections. If I don't
have gnome-system-monitor running, it does not seem to be a problem.
To reproduce on my setup, I just have to start gnome-system-monitor, but
the problem does not appear, until I click the file File Systems tab.
I then disabled all my remote mounts (mostly samba/windows shares) and
switched between the File Systems and Processes tabs. Every time
when on the File System tab the the memory used by gvfsd increased.
When on any of the other tabs, there was no problem.
I then did a few tests by changing some of the settings.
In the preferences I changed the update interval to 20 seconds.
In one minute the memory usage increased from 310 KB to 324KB
I then ticked Show all filesystems
In one minute, the usage increased from 320Kb to 472KB
I then changed the update interval to 1 second and unchecked the Show all
filesystems
In one minute the usage increased from 320KB to 376KB
I then checked the Show all filesystems and;
In one minute the usage increased from 320KB to 1.7MB
As I am no techie (so, I'm not sure I did it correctly) I ran system
monitor with valgrind and attach the log - The problem was that it also
was so unresponsive, that I could not switch between the tabs in the
system monitor)
