To see if the issue is caused by something I've install in Xfce that isn't present in a clean install of the same base system. No point using Windows or Debian, it;s sticks and stones.

Also what are you doing in calibre to cause the memory to increase? For instance if I start calibre memory usage is ~ 100MB then I use the edit metadata dialog for many books, memory usage climbs to 200MB and stays constant there no matter how many books I edit the metadata for. Since most tasks in calibre happen in short lived worker processes, I dont see how they could be leaking memory.

As mentioned in my original post, I'm just editing metadata, in some cases individual books and occasionally several books at a time. I've not selected more than 10 books simultaneously.

The only other things I can think of that happen in the same process are running the calibre content server and connecting to a device.

The server isn't currently running, I don't have wireless on my desktop and there ar no devices selected or connected.

Two things you can do to decrease coupling to the system is use the binary calibre install and in Preferences->Look & Feel change the theme from system default to calibre.

I mentioned in my original post that I see the same issues with the version of Calibre from the distro repo and the binary install from the Calibre website.
For what it's worth, with a clean install of the OS and a clean install of Calibre - no library defined - the memory is:
Code:
16592 python2 /usr/bin/calibre-parallel --pipe-worker from calibre.utils.ipc.pool import run_main, worker_main; run_main(worker_main)
254932 python2 /usr/bin/calibre --detach
