Files queries file information and never seems to free the space allocated for it. For example, simply opening a folder with 250,000 files in it got memory usage of Files over 800Mb and this memory was never freed.

See bug #1404588 for instructions on creating a directory with lots of files on tmpfs, which is perhaps the fastest way to observe this bug.

I'm reporting this bug from that instance with 800Mb memory usage, so perhaps the attached ProcMaps file can be helpful.
