Nautilus no-no's

I've been struggling with sporatic slowness on my work linux box. I had attributed it to Firefox, and most of the time it was; but the slowness was becoming more persistent. Kswapd0 kept ramping up, and taking all the cpu cycles. Eventually I was frustrated with my icons not updating, and killed and restarted nautilus.

When nautilus started back up, it felt like the computer it was months ago.

I'm just going to restart nautilus occasionally now.
