Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
I'm running Ubuntu Lucid on a Dell XPS M1210 laptop. Nautilus uses ever- increasing amounts of memory on my system (and a fair bit of the CPU, too). This is new in Lucid. In Karmic, Nautilus usually used about 5%-10% of my memory (more if I was viewing lots of photos or something, but the baseline was 10% at the very most). Now it typically uses at least 7% at startup, which increases over time to as much as 30%. This happens even if no Nautilus windows are open. If I kill the nautilus process, when it comes back it uses 70-100% CPU until it's using at least 10% memory again. (I would give absolute numbers here instead of percentages, but I'm not sure which ones are which.) All of this happens regardless of whether I ever open a Nautilus window. I saw other memory-related bugs, but none of them look quite like what I'm experiencing. The bottom line is that Nautilus memory usage wasn't a problem for me in Karmic, but in Lucid it's slowing things down considerably. I'll be happy to post whatever additional information is needed.
