Hello I have discovered a similar problem while converting PS to PDF with ps2pdf. While converting evince-thumbnailer uses about the same amount of memory as ghostscript. It seems like evince-thumbnailer tries to refresh the PDF thumbmail after each page ghostscript has converted. And with together about 90% memory usage Ubuntu nearly stalls and converting takes much longer than before.
Happens with Ubuntu Karmic Koala 2.6.31-11-generic. Maybe disabling the evince-thumbnailer in gconf-editor makes this disappear - but this cannot be the solution. I have attached a screenshot of the "top" command. Keep up the good work!
