Same here.
When i open this file:
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/File:Image-Grand_central_Station_Outside_Night_2.jpg

in firefox.. everything is fine.. if is opened with shotwell everything
fine... but if i open with eye of gnome system freezes - actually you
can hardly move the mouse but you cant click nothing.. you cant even go
into terminal.

But with small images is no problem.

I have Ubuntu 11.10 64_bit version.

Title:
  eog uses too much memory

Status in Eye of GNOME:
  New
Status in “eog” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: eog

  eog trys to open very large images. If the image is too big, the system is just swaping, and it is hard to stop it.
  possible solutions:
    - eog should not open very large images
    - eog could create carefuly a scaled small version of the image, and shows the scaled down version
