Title:
  rhythmbox excessive memory use

Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Running rhythmbox pointing to a library with 20,000+ tracks results in
  large amounts(3.9gb+) of memory being used up by a 'rhythmbox-
  metadata' process, making the system it's running on almost completely
  unresponsive and unusable.  This happens relatively quickly, about as
  quick as the ram can be allocated.

  if I kill this process I get a

  (rhythmbox:4996): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_css_provider_load_from_path: assertion 'path != NULL' failed
  g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting.

  though hard to say if that's helpful.
