Public bug reported:
Nemo either has a memory leak or very bad memory management. Ubuntu
16.04 comes to a grinding halt on a PC with Nemo installed. This
happened a number of times the last week (since nemo was installed
because of its ability to have dual panes). The PC is switched off every
night and some time during the day it becomes slower and slower until it
comes to a grinding halt. This last time I was informed and was able to
SSH in before the system completely died. Memory consumption was 100%
and I had to kill some other app in order to open top. Nemo used 3.2GB
at the time and after killing it, the system became responsive again.
Additional information that may be helpful: A smb share is used to
access all company data from a central server. I have read about memory
issues in Nemo and one person seems to think it is a thumbnail issue.
