Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gvfs
gvfsd-gphoto2 loads entire file into memory by first when downloading it
from camera and flushes it onto hdd once it is whole in memory unlike
gphoto2 that writes onto hdd simultaneously with loading the file from
camera.
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.
** Affects: gvfs (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
