Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
When I visit a folder with large (DV-formated) avi files, nautilus seems to sequentially map every one of them into memory. Memory usage goes up and down with file size. When it eventually comes to a file larger than system memory, ram usage stops at 70-75% and nautilus eventually ends up running at 100% CPU. It actually behaves like this with any directory containing avi files, but the compressed ones simply pass without to much ado (though it can easily be seen using top) It is then possible to kill the window (probably only) when "force" appears. System will come back to normal. If I kill the window before 100% CPU occurs, it will close down without delay (though this probably doesn't mean much).
