This issue seems related to the file change monitoring of Nautilus.

While trying to understand what conditions caused this to happen , I found the same thing is happening when moving from a directory containing an open file beeing written.

I can navigate around the file system without causing the problem, but if I once open the diractory where I have a large file beeing written, the CPU usage goes up to max available on leaving the directory or closing the window.

It bahaves just like the file monitoring unhooking did not work properly.
