What the log would show would be user activity:

That kind of thing.

Just while I have been writhing this (and nothin has been done with Calibre) it has incremented to 9132K
That would be useless, since memory consumption is increasing for you while calibre is not doing anything. That task logger would show absolutely nothing. Debugging this will require some instrumentation to examine the allocated memory. That is too complex to set up for use by anyone other than a developer. Which is why I say again:

I (or indeed another developer) need to be able to reproduce this behavior to have a hope of fixing it.
