Check with atop or another tool like that. The two main culprits for
completely unknown and continuous IO transfers are tracker-miner and
ext4 (if your HDD/SSD is big and has just been formated).
Again atop or a similar tool could be of a great help.

If this memory is just cached, this only means the kernel does a good
job at using all the available memory.

That could be. Did you try to run a memtest to check your RAM health?

Did you try to remove nautilus references in ~/.config, ~/.local/share
and ~/.gnome2?
It's also worth noting that Nautilus will overcome a major upgrade in
the upcoming version of Gnome (3.6). A lot of bug should be fixed at
that time (and a lot of others should be "released").
