Same here on a Dell Latitude E5510, which I updated to 14.04 these days. I have compiz enabled.
For me, CPU consumption begins right after executing nautilus, while nautilus consumes approximately 25% to 40% of the cpu according to top. It seems as if as if all 4 threads of my dualcore cpu are in use by nautilus. Once consuming cpu, it does not stop anymore until I close nautilus. Definately, it is unusable that way on a laptop on battery. Capacity drops from 5-6 hours to 1-2 hours just because of nautilus. Please fix this annoying bug which seemed to be active for years now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069843 Title: Nautilus consuming memory and cpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1069843/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
