Most calibre tasks run in separate short-lived worker processes, so they cannot contribute to long term memory usage of calibre. If you find that memory usage is growing over time, then it is likely something is leaking memory. The best way to find out what is to perform some calibre operations that you suspect repeatedly and watch the meory usage. Note that some increase is expected because python the language calibre is written in often does not immediately release memory back to the OS, as a performance optimization. But if you perform the same operation five times and get a roughly equal increase in mem usage each time, then that is likely a leak.
