Bug Description
I had to copy about 300GB of files from NTFS(sdc) partition to EXT4(sdb). Around 70%, the system had a major slowdown and unusable at this point. My main harddisk(sda) seeking constantly heavily. It's probably memory swapping in operation.
Running top, I see the files process VIRT is around 3XXXXXX. As soon as I stop the copy operation, the system is usable and very smooth again.
My guess there is memory leak on pantheon-files when copying files.
