So I created a new sigil.ini file and added a utf-8 bom to it. (I also deleted and recreated a new sigil_searches.ini, even though I realize I should only do one thing at a time when testing, but since my sigil_searches.ini was corrupted, I went ahead and recreated it anyway. Sorry.) I've been running Sigil for about two hours, and while the memory usage climbed fairly steadily, it also went back down somewhat, which it definitely was NOT doing reliably before. I was at about 5,300 mb of memory used after 2 hours of work, but did not experience any major slowdowns. A couple of times Sigil hesitated, but nothing like before. I looked at the .ini files and did not see any signs of corruption. If I get a chance tomorrow, I'll try a different epub and see if my luck holds.
