This bug also affects me and I agree with #15, the problem seems to be the thumbnails preview.

I have a folder with 700 small .jpg files (something between 160Kb and 400Kb), totaling 238Mb.

Nautilus:
- with thumbnails enable takes approximately 80 seconds to stop "loading" all files.
- with thumbnails disable, it only takes 4 seconds

Thunar:
- takes 1 second, it doesn't really matter (at least to my eyes) if thumbnails are enable or not.

I love Nautilus' features and integration with Gnome, but this problem has been a real pain...
