Nautilus high CPU utilization when attempts to load pic thumbnails (and fails to load those previews)

When I go to a folder with pictures (or music w/pics embedded) the thumbnails fail to load and CPU utilization jumps! top reports, when in a folder without preview-able items, nautilus's utilization is between 0.0 and 1.0%. If I go into a folder with a single preview-able item, it raises to 15-20% util, and when I go into my pictures folder (40 preview-able items) it goes to 105-120% (multi-core) utilization, and I hear my fan kick up shortly after going into it (it does not multi-thread the process very well as top reports majority of utilization on single thread of i7 processor, so it temps rise 20 deg C on a single core in < 5 mins).

64 bit ubuntu 13.10 (public release version), Hp elitebook 8460w running fglrx 13.11 beta1 (via amd installer and created ubu saucy package) : only other deviance from average install was use of LTM and did not format /home partition. But same issue when I nav to /usr/share/backgrounds (105-115% util for only 19 preview-able items), and that partition ( / also ltm) was reformatted when did my fresh-install of 13.10.

Let me know if I can provide further info.
