(Get the code!)
I can confirm same experience as Motin.
Moving large folder trees causes Nautilus to consume large amounts of RAM that it doesn't release afterwards.
I don't have preview / thumbs enabled and my zoom is 50%, if that is relevant (but I doubt it).
This Nautilus bug has cropped up in all sorts of places and guises.
Intrepid 8.1
Nautilus 2.24.1 ( 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu2 )

I just moved around a lot of files between external hard drives, around 400 GB all in all. It took all night, and now I have unmounted all drives and thought I would be able to work as usual, but the system is slow and unresponsive. Nautilus takes up a whopping 1.6 gb resident, and 2.9gb all in all (so 1.3 gb in swap)."
