Comment 1 for bug 834845

That's not good. It shouldn't do that.

Could please you provide some more information?
1. What distribution you are using
2. What version of python you have (python --version)
3. What plugins you have enabled
4. How many folders you are monitoring, and approximately how many files are in them
5. How long Kupfer is open before it reaches a gig of ram
6. How you are measuring the memory usage

Thanks for reporting this.
