Same issue is here also since 2-3 weeks. I tried to ignore it, by
"killall nautilus" for a long time and stopped nautilus to make
thumbnails. Looking for a permanent fix for it.

Title:
  Nautilus consuming memory and cpu

Status in Nautilus:
  New
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I noticed that Nautilus seemed sluggish after updating to 12.10
  yesterday. Clicks in the window may take a moment to register and the
  right click menu takes a few seconds to draw. This happens in nautilus
  windows and on the desktop, but I have not seen this behaviour in any
  other windows.

  I checked nautilus in the system-monitor and found that it was eating
  an excesive amount of memory (14.1/16 gb) and 72% of one cpu-core
  constantly. The memory starts out low at ~300mb ram and creeps up from
  there.

  Ubuntu 12.10

  nautilus:
    Installed: 1:3.5.90.really.3.4.2-0ubuntu4
    Candidate: 1:3.5.90.really.3.4.2-0ubuntu4
    Version table:
   *** 1:3.5.90.really.3.4.2-0ubuntu4 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  I've not filed an Ubuntu bug before and am somewhat unfamiliar with
  the process, so please let me know if there are reports or commands I
  can run that might be of more use.

  Thanks.
