Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
64bit Hardy with latest updates.
Nautilus 1:2.22.3-0ubuntu2
Once opened a directory with a big amount of images (~ 17800), nautilus
uses too much ram as shown in the line extracted from top:
20978 gollos 20 0 1564m 1.2g 20m S 0 58.8 9:44.42 nautilus
That's way too much ram given that the ~/.thumbnails directory is much
smaller (~ 370M) unless nautilus is storing in ram an uncompressed copy
of each thumbnail.
Closing ALL nautilus windows doesn't free it back, since nautilus
remains running to draw the desktop, so all that ram is wasted.
Nautilus must use less ram (storing compressed copies instead of uncompressed
ones) or, at least, free the cache once all windows are closed.
** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New

Nautilus takes way too much ram opening a large image directory and doesn't
give it back until killed
