Nautilus-clamscan makes nautilus use 100 mb of memory

[Daniel Rodrigues]

With nautilus-clamscan installed, Nautilus uses 100 mb of memory instead of the usual 20. I'm running Ubuntu Karmic.
Without nautilus-clamscan (and even with different versions of nautilus), the memory consumption is the usual, so this is really an clamscan-related issue.

Nautilus:
apt-cache policy nautilus
nautilus:
  Instalado: 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3.1
  Candidato: 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3.1

ClamAv:
apt-cache policy clamav
clamav:
  Instalado: 0.95.3+dfsg-1ubuntu0.09.10
  Candidato: 0.95.3+dfsg-1ubuntu0.09.10

If you need more info, just tell me. ClamScan is great, but this little annoying memory leak, especially in low-end computers (like mine, just 1 gb of RAM), makes it almost impossible to use. Anyway, thanks!

Same issue with nautilus-clamscan 0.2.2-2ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 10.04 with nautilus 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1 and clamav 0.96.1+dfsg-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
On my box it even uses almost 200MB (of 2GB) compared to about 20MB without nautilus-clamscan:
