Can anyone else reproduce that?

Edit to Add:

Same scenario on a laptop running Linux Mint 17.3 which becomes unusable as a result.
It's something about the icon sets. I have just tested most of them, had the same problem. The amount of extra memory changed with each. The worst were "square_ui" and "round_ui". For "square_ui", it took over a minute to open and the memory usage peaked at 13GB! And "round_ui" hung the my laptop and I had to turn it off to recover. The only icon schemes that didn't cause a problem were the default, Gnome and Primo+.

I assume there is something in how the icons are loaded that is causing this. I wonder it if something with the recent change to image handling.
