As I said before, without being able to reproduce it, there is no way I can fix it. You will just have to remember to restart calibre periodically.
i guess the only way forward then is some sort of group user test/poll.

I don't use XP, I use win 7 ( 64 bit)

so far we have a sample of just 3 - you & the OP in XP , me on Win 7 - with 2 of 3 seeing some sort of leak. not enough or a diagnosis.

both vista & win 7 OS try to use all available RAM by caching data for future use. XP does not do that. - but I doubt that is the explanation here.
