Description Alexander Nestorov 2014-12-23 01:58:35 UTC

I have a 40gb folder with quite some small files (thumbnails, 20-40kb each one). If I copy that folder from one path to another (both paths inside a single partition in my local HDD), KIO starts using a lot of memory (we're talking about 4, 5 even 6 gb of RAM).
This causes other programs to crash or run slower.

rsync does the same thing with a few mb of RAM.

Reproducible: Always

I'm a google code-in who is trying to do bug triaging task.
Is this relevant to bug 338805 or bug 278894, too?
