Yes. This now seems to be GNOME bugzilla #579994, I think still 'unconfirmed'
Further update: I've upgraded the system to Ubuntu 9.04 (going through 8.10, as required), and the problem is still there; unchanged. It seems something in Nautilus, or something Nautilus uses, knows how, under some circumstances, to use a huge number of CPU cycles, - per file - , to open directories I can't help wondering if it's related to previously reported similar delays (or 'lockups') reported for Nautilus, which were apparently 'fixed' by avoiding the situations which triggered them. Additional observation: Switching to a different desktop with open windows will often re-dispatch the offending process to another CPU. (No effect on switching to an empty desktop.)
