v0.9.10 compiled on Linux Mint 19.1.

I have been working on a book for about a month and I noticed that every time I got back to Sigil it took plenty of seconds before it got "active". As in being swapped into RAM again.

Using top it showed that Sigil was using about 50% of the memory (of 12 GB).
I quit Sigil and restarted. It used pretty much "nothing" as expected.

Now, about 4-5 days later it uses 18,5%.

The epub is 2.5 MB (5 images).

I know top and ps are not completly accurate, but I'm guessing accurate enough in order to show that Sigil is using more than I would have thought.

Is this normal, or is there a memory leak?
