@DNSB

Not sure if you're looking at the right file, or making a different point. chaley's argument seems to be that the greater the amount the files in your calibre library the more RAM calibre will need. My personal library is only 300 books large. I borrowed one that has 800 titles, each with duplicate formats. Haven't seen any noticeable RAM increase.
The file I was looking at is the database.db file that, AFAIK, is the only file loaded into memory when Calibre starts up. My point was that with >2000 books, the database is less than 5MB. My point was that with such a small file (well, by today's standards -- I remember using 8" single density floppy disks -- it's memory usage is going to be lost in the round off errors calculating memory use.
