Bug Description
Binary package hint: gthumb
In a directory with several (13) large (~45MB, 10000x14000px, 8bit grayscale) tiff files (scanned documents) gthumb soon uses excessive memory and makes the whole system unresponsive (about 30s after starting gthumb, 4 thumbnails displayed). This is on a fairly beefy machine (dual core AMD, 2GB memory) running Feisty AMD64.
Memory use as reported by top:
25803 brick 18 0 2167m 1.1g 19m T 0 54.4 0:45.31 gthumb
that is ~2.1G virt, 1.1G res, 19mb shared after only 45 CPU seconds.
