Public bug reported:

I enter a folder with 3421 jpg files, select all of them and wait a little 
without doing nothing.
Then I click on the parent folder to go up one level and this takes about a 
minute (note that it took a few seconds to display the contents of the folder 
with the thousand jpgs and that the parent folder has only a dozen sub folders 
and 2-3 files).

I reproduced this behavior 3 times. Selecting all of the files was
essential for the behavior to occur.

Ubuntu 8.10 fully patched

CPU usage is at 100% and strace shows these while I wait:
