Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
If I open a folder in Nautilus containing, say, 60 images and the zoom
level is 150% or more (icon view), it immediately becomes slow,
unresponsive and consumes 100% CPU for a long time *after* all the
images are displayed. It does not matter if thumbnails need to be
generated or not (i.e. if they are pre-cached or not). Nautilus does not
crash, scrolling is possible, but is extremely jerky and quite unusable.
If I leave it for a while, or leave the folder entirely, CPU consumption
goes back to normal, and everything seems fine. When the zoom-level is
100% or less, the problem does not occur.
Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 with proposed updates enabled.
nautilus 1:2.22.3-0ubuntu2
Here's the top of an oprofile system report where profiling was started
right before loading an image folder in Nautilus (where all thumbnails
have already been generated and cached before), and stopped when
Nautilus CPU usage eventually goes down to normal. No other significant
things were using much CPU during profiling.

Seems like a lot of time is spent in libjpeg, even though all images
have already been loaded ! This gives a very poor user experience.
Perhaps new thumbnails are being generated behind the scenes, even
though it already displays the cached versions ?
