Just another data point.
So it sounds like the range of 1.7 to 2.4 is normal considering the size of my library. It seems to be dependent on how many duplicate searches etc. that I do and perhaps how long Calibre has been running without restarting.

I was just kind of curious. Thank you for your input mobovenka.

kovidgoyal - I have not noticed anything as being a real memory leak. It does appear that when I do a duplicate search the result increases memory usage. That would make sense to me.
