Still happens in lucid as well.  Sometimes I get lucky, other times I
come back to find nautilus is taking 1-2GB of memory.  I think it also
happens when you are viewing a folder that's updating a lot.

Title:
  Nautilus using more and more memory (depending on the system up-time)

Status in Nautilus:
  New
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  The more my system stays up, the more memory Nautilus uses.
  Currently, nautilus uses 145mb of RAM. Two hours ago it was 142. More than 10 hours ago, it was less than 120.
  Even when I don't use the system, the memory goes up. Currently I'm running Deluge (bittorrent), firefox and Pidgin. And that's it.

  After "killall nautilus", it goes back to _just_ 9.6mb!!

  My system is up-to-date Gutsy, I have 2gb of ram and 540mb swap.
