Given that there is little empirical proof that modifying the text as suggested does anything to improve reader comprehension or reading speed (much as the various fonts claimed to be better for dyslexic readers have failed to show any reproducible improvement in several studies), IMO, time spent on this is not a good use of calibre's developers time.

As for the out of memory error? I tried using your plugin on an omnibus volume (1371332 words, 10.6MB) and there were no issues with opening it on a Kobo Glo, Clara HD, Sage (4.38.23171). or Kobo Libra Colour (4.41.23145). No out of memory (checked this from a NickelMenu option) nor did I notice any noticeable slowdown between the unmodified and modified versions sent as kepub or epub when opening the ebook or changing chapters.
