This is most definitely still a problem, even in a new Jaunty install.
It is particularly pronounced with directories of multipage tiff files.
kio_thumbnail processes get launched until all available memory is
exhausted, swapping out the entire system until nothing works. Before
the system freezes up completely I counted 6 instances of kio_thumbnail
at ~200MB each on a 1G memory box.
