By default calibre uses the default location for temporary files (e.g. on it's Windows C:\Users\<users>\AppData\Local\Temp), and it uses it extensively, e.g. when adding and converting books. It's pretty good at cleaning up, but remnants can get left behind that normal 'system cleanup' processes take of.
You can give calibre a dedicated folder for its temporaries on another drive via the CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR environment variable, see User Manual: Environment variables
If you give calibre a dedicated location for its temporaries you'll have to make provision for any additional cleanup.
Curious - what format are the comics? I only count words and I never run Count Pages against CBZ or CBR (or audio/video formats etc). Maybe the plugin needs an Exclude Formats setting.

Very informative, thank you.
In this case calibre did clean up after itself, but not until I'd discovered it filled the system drive. I closed calibre and the space was recovered.
I've set CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR as a system variable, so that should work after restarting.
I'm counting pages in (in this case) CBZ files, but I do have CBR (that I usually convert to CBZ). Page count is equal to the number of images.
Overall I'm happy with how this plugin works, and would prefer that CBZ and CBR continue to be supported. I just noticed that it ate my system drive.
I've also noticed that queuing the files takes many times longer (not measured, but observed) than the page count. If it could read in place it would finish almost immediately. This obviously might not be true of other formats such as PDF and EPUB.
