It is a bug.

Go to X-Term and kill some big processes:

killall gst-video-thumbnailerd
kill `ps | grep mafw-gst-renderer | grep -v grep | cat -d ' ' -f2`

Install KMPlayer and use it instead of system media player.
System media player starts thumbnailerd and you have some video files which can't be played on N900. It stacks the whole process.
