 I have experienced the same problem for quite some time.  I can't tell
 what triggers it but after using nautilus for sometimes seconds, other
 times days it eventually seems to jump to 100% cpu usage.  I recently
 updated from gnome 2.14 to 2.16 and still have the same issues.
 
 I am running a single cpu system 6.1-RELEASE-p10 i386
 
 I have managed to ktrace the process while it was eating cpu time. In
 an effort to help move this bug along, I have posted the ktrace at the
 following URL.

 A ktrace of the process under normal conditions is also provided at

 Nautilus seems to be repeatedly calling gettimeofday?
 
  ...
  11940 nautilus RET   gettimeofday 0
  11940 nautilus CALL  gettimeofday(0xbfbfe2c8,0)
  11940 nautilus RET   gettimeofday 0
  11940 nautilus CALL  gettimeofday(0xbfbfe2c8,0)
  11940 nautilus RET   gettimeofday 0
  11940 nautilus CALL  gettimeofday(0xbfbfe2c8,0)
  11940 nautilus RET   gettimeofday 0
  11940 nautilus CALL  gettimeofday(0xbfbfe2c8,0)
  11940 nautilus RET   gettimeofday 0
  11940 nautilus CALL  gettimeofday(0xbfbfe2c8,0)
  11940 nautilus RET   gettimeofday 0
  11940 nautilus CALL  gettimeofday(0xbfbfe2c8,0)
  ...
 
 Not sure what this means but hopefully it will provide some insights to someone.
 
 Cheers,
