Public bug reported:

I noticed that Nautilus seemed sluggish after updating to 12.10
yesterday. Clicks in the window may take a moment to register and the
right click menu takes a few seconds to draw. This happens in nautilus
windows and on the desktop, but I have not seen this behaviour in any
other windows.

I checked nautilus in the system-monitor and found that it was eating an
excesive amount of memory (14.1/16 gb) and 72% of one cpu-core
constantly. The memory starts out low at ~300mb ram and creeps up from
there.

Ubuntu 12.10

nautilus:
  Installed: 1:3.5.90.really.3.4.2-0ubuntu4
  Candidate: 1:3.5.90.really.3.4.2-0ubuntu4
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.5.90.really.3.4.2-0ubuntu4 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I've not filed an Ubuntu bug before and am somewhat unfamiliar with the
process, so please let me know if there are reports or commands I can
run that might be of more use.

Thanks.
