One way to test this, (if you know how) is to add a utf-8 byte order mark to your sigil.ini file with an editor (with Sigil shutdown) and then start and run Sigil for some time to see if problems develop again or not.
This is very strange. We may have to revert back to non utf-8 ini file format and make a new release.
Let's wait to hear from DiapDealer on what he thinks.

Not sure why this leads to an memory bloat and slowdowns but according to the following Qt Bug report:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-40796
and this report:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-54510
this may have to do with something inside Qt related to QSettings eating memory but only when the ini files are set to use utf-8 encodings.
Thanks!
